Beeny I assume it is Helophilus sp. I think they are the only ones with such defined vertical orange thoracic stripes, but I am only familiar with hoverflies in western Europe. Susan |

Helophilus virgatus female (top) and male (bottom). One of the most common Syrphids in Japan. http://xespok.net/gallery/Milesiinae?page=2 |
