Hello to all! Is this some Merodon species, or am I totally wrong here? Size about 12-15mm. 1.6.2010, Croatia, Kamenjak (southernmost part of Istria). Rupert Huber attached the following image:  [101.55Kb] Edited by Rupert Huber on 13-06-2010 15:13 Best greetings Rupert |

Yes, it's a Merodon allright, and with these very enlarged hind femora and it's size I would say a male Merodon clavipes! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
