Hello! I find them mostly in late summer, and there were many Volucella bombylans around here yesterday, so I only have this single photo (noticed that this one is *no* Volucella only at the PC). It has the "Eristalini" wave, but it does not look like Merodon equestis. So it must be Eristalis intricata? Size 10 mm, at a hawthorn hedge, northwest Germany.

Hey Juergen, congratulations!!! The second is indeed a male Eristalis intricaria, but not the first! It's a female Mallota fuciformis, excellent find!!! Always a very rare fly, next time you see it please catch one for me!  Greetings, Gerard Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Ah, very interesting, thanks! That genus I did not take into account, because I never found it, yet.
