 If it's a Volucella obviously only could be V. bombylians, but there are other genus with perfect batesian mimicry to the genus Bombus. Could somebody give me a more sure ID?

Location: Valdelinares, Teruel, NE Spain. 1900 meters above sea.
Habitat: Over a flower of Succisa sp.
Date: Yesterday.
Size: The same than a Volucella zonaria.

I have two more pics if they are needed for ID.

Thanks
Isidro

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
