Syrphidae on lilies in our garden 50 km west of Cologne photographed today. Chrysotoxum elegans? Could you confirm or correct this? Thank you for your help. HTK attached the following image:  [84.87Kb] |

Chrysotoxum is correct. The key http://web.archiv...x_key.html starts with comparison of the length of the three antenna segments. As the antenna is quite blurred in the photos, we can only hope for an educated guess of a Syrphid expert! |

Thank you, Sundew. It's good to know that one isn't too far off the mark. I'm adding another picture with a (hopefully) somewhat better view of the antenna. More detailed message later. Best wishes, Hans Theo HTK attached the following image:  [63.86Kb] Edited by HTK on 03-08-2013 13:14 |
