Hello,

Here is some diptera I found on 24th June near Dijon (21), France. (Length is approx 12 to 15 mm)
What is not evident on the photo is the yellow and black colors of the abdomen, that give some "hymenoptera-looking" aspect (don't know the english word, sorry ! Wink). First thought about some Asilidae, but once I had the photos, I think more likely it is some Therevidae ?

Can anyone help ?
Thanks !

The photo shows the hoverfly Xylota sylvarum.

Thanks for your answer !

As it seems, still lots of things to learn, if I'm not even able to recognize some Syrphidae... Sad

Yours,

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
