Hello!

Many (*) hover flies here (northwest Germany) in the last days (sunny, 20-26 °C) at flowering sloe hedges and elsewhere. This one is already from April-10. Could it be a Melangyna sp.? Size about 8 mm.

(*):
- Cheilosia sp. (6-7 mm small, black)
- Cheilosia cf. orthotricha (12-14 mm)
- Episyrphus balteatus
- Eristalis interrupta
- Eristalis pertinax
- Helophilus pendulus
- Melanostoma scalare
- Melangyna sp. (?)
- Myatropa florea (unsure; at forest, could be a fast flying Brachypalpus)
- Platycheirus albimanus
- Xanthogramma citrofasciata

Hi Juergen,

I got pics on the 3rd of one which looks like this, I think it's Parasyrphus punctulatus.

Interesting, thanks! I did not take Parasyrphus into account, because I never had found one this early. But the pics in the gallery do look very like it!
Best regards,
Jürgen

Yes, I have searched my archives now and found, that my earliest finds were April-14, 2007, and April-17, 2008. So it was only a few days earlier this year. It a new "record", though... Cool
Best regards,
Jürgen
