 Hello I photographied this Syrphid last June, 14th at East Angus, Quebec (near Vermont).

I think it is in both case a female Sericomyia chrysotoxoides...

Am I right? Any idea othewise???


Thanks again!

 I'm not familiar with New World syrphids, but it's certainly Sericomyia species - looks very similar to the European S silentis, which does not have such emphatic golden hairs.

 Thank you Nigel for your help concerning that Hover Fly.

Finally I received a confirmation: it is effectively Sericomyia chrysotoxoides.

Ciao!

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
