Hi,
In my photo stock from last summer there are two rhagionids (probably
Rhagio) to be identified. I hope it is possible!
Thanks, Sundew
The first one is from Berlin in July.

The second is from the Baltic Island of Usedom in August.

The top one is a therevid. Better delete the second post and put it in a separate thread.

Thereva nobilitata female on top and
Rhagio vitripennis male.

The Rhagio is a male of Rh. tringarius: see the yellowish stigma.
Vitripennis has, despite the name, a dark stigma.

Last night when I lay in bed nearly asleep a thought crossed my mind: "The first fly might be a therevid instead a rhagionid, its abdomen is too hairy and differently coloured!" However, I was too tired to get up and start the computer again. From your replies I see that I had a correct feeling. The flies already haunt me in my dreams!
Many thanks to all, Sundew

Absolutely right Theo.. I was sleeping, typed the wrong name, meant to write tringarius
EDIT: I added the blush smiley at Andre's unspoken request. :P

The older we get, Andre, the more we mix up names. Happens to me repeatedly.
