Hello, I think, Abia is correct. Could it be lonicerae? If I meet them in my garden, they nearly always rest on Honeysuckle Lonicera xylosteum. But I never saw any larvae. They have been pretty common in the last year. Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), nearby deciduous forest (oak, beech ...), May 5th 2023. Fly 1 + 2 are one individual, fly 3 is another. Thanks in advance, Michael Michael Stemmer attached the following image:  [126.12Kb] Edited by Michael Stemmer on 11-02-2025 10:00 |

Hello Michael, I'm quite sure it's a male Abia sericea: see Steven Falk: https://www.flick...460023725/ (there's only one photo attached) Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Hello Eric, after the first picture there were “No new Threads allowed at present “. I don´t know why, obviously others could post new threads, I couldn`t. Abia sericea looks good, Scabiosa and Dipsacus were flowering nearby. Now I try to post the last 2 pictures #2 Michael Stemmer attached the following image:  [126.88Kb] |

Nice photos and the last one is a male Abia candens (antennal base dark).

@ Eric: Thank you very much for your determination, Eric! Two Abia species, I never thouigt that possible! Greetings from the Stux hill, Michael @ Jürgen: I know, but „in the field” I had a list called “flies”, and on it I have written all “fly-like” animals I photographed. And this list I used for determination, knowing, but not thinking about the fact, that some “flies” were really “wasps”. Greetings from the Stux hill, Michael |
