Recorded in Flensburg meadow, N. Germany on Achillea millefolium on a bright sunny day. The seemed very active. It rained the next day. Also seen on Tanacetum vulgare. Body +/-5-7mm long I think it might be an Eliozeta Sp. Ray Perry attached the following image:  [175.54Kb] Edited by Ray Perry on 10-08-2021 08:24 |

Hi Ray, the antennae are very close, segment 3 longer than twice 2nd, arista ⅔ thickend = E. pellucens.

With the mostly yellow abdomen and the naked parafrontalia I'm quite sure it's a male.
