Hello! Unfortunately I only have this single picture. This not very big (8-9 mm) fly looked and behaved (not hovering at the blossoms, but running around between them) exactly like a small Bombus pascuorum worker. Found on May-09 at forest, northwest Germany. Can it be a Criorhina?

Yep, Criorhina berberina female, the typical form. There is also a color form which is totally yellow. They can be quite small! greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Hello, Gerard! Gerard Pennards wrote: Yep, Criorhina berberina female, the typical form. There is also a color form which is totally yellow. They can be quite small! Many thanks! I had the form 'oxyacanthe' before, but it was considerably bigger. ,%20Weibchen_001.jpg) P.S.: The genus name Brachymyia is not valid any more?
