 Found it yesterday, 14.08.2016, S.-Germany, Black Forest at about 1000m. Obviously it is not V. bombylans ... Are there any ideas about the genus or species of this animal? Thank you.

 Gerard - I've browsed through many images of bumblebee mimics but have ommited Eriozona syrphoides.

Thanks for this ID.

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

pjt - just send the post and attached image. Do not preview thread, as this will lose the link to the image,

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
