Help please - I have them in my photo collection since 2021 and 2023 and really would like to know which fly they belong to. From our garden in Rheinbach near Bonn/Germany. I cannot remember any size :-(
Thank you so much, Jörg

From what I see (the posterior breathing tubes are a bit blurry):
1. Episyrphus balteatus
2. Syrphus sp.
Greetings, Eric
