HI, One pic of this only, the marks look to me like Eupeodes corollae male, except the yellow shapes on T2&3 don't look to reach the edges of the abdomen. Could it be anything else? Thanks for any help!  Lincoln UK, on 26th July. blowave attached the following image:  [66.24Kb] |

I think I may have found what it is! Eupeodes latifasciatus, I found a fly without the marks joining but apparently they can. It also is supposed to have a greenish black abdomen, I think mine has a greenish tinge. Any agreement on that?

It is latifasciatus. Forget the tinge, it is not a reliable character. This species is rather variable. The yellow bands on the abdomen may remind to ski-glasses |

Thanks again Andre! yes they do look like ski-glasses!  I hadn't seen this one but came across it while searching, luckily! Janet |
