yesterday at Sestrica, Aragon, Spain. Habitat: Quercus suber forest. Very common in this forest but do not existe at lower level, in the fields. Same size than zonaria: bigger than pellucens, lesser than inanis. When I saw it I thinked directly in V. zonaria. But seeing it closer, I found the colour a little strange. These reddish marks in the thorax and the abdomen colour makes me think in anothes species. It is true or it's only a colour variation of zonaria?  Thanks  |

Hi Isidro, in Spain there is another species Volucella elegans. Though I have never seen this species, I think it could be this one with this big dark patch in the middle of wings... Perhaps John or Gerard do know ? Regards. Stephane. |
