Hi Switzerland, summer :-), 27.06.2010, highmoor, 965 msm Is it Volucella bombylans var plumata, a female? Are there any other species for mix-up? Any adjustment/confirmation would be appreciated. Kind regards, Brigitte brigitteu attached the following image:  [33.42Kb] |

and this is the plumata form, indeed. No, bombylans is the humble-bee like species, the other species have short, adpressed hairs.

Thank you Ruud! for both Volucella. Then I schould be able to recognize "the Volucella bombylans" in the future. I hope it at least . . . . Best regards, Brigitte |
