Hello! Last year on 03. May I found this Syrphidae in a lime area (dry meadow) in the Spessart-Highlands (Bavaria / 500m). I think, it's a Merodon species. M. equestris? Sorry, I have only this photo. Regards Andreas Andreas Haselboeck attached the following image:  [83.56Kb] Andreas Haselboeck Stuttgart / Germany http://www.naturs... |

Yes it is Merodon, but probably not M equestris. This is a difficult genus. You'll need a specimen and a good key. Try Van Veen's Hoverflies of NW Europe.

Hello Nigel, yes, to me it looks also not as M. equestris. So it is Merodon sp. Thank you very much! Regards Andreas Andreas Haselboeck Stuttgart / Germany http://www.naturs... |
