Sighted in April 2026 in Germany, Baden-Württemberg at the edge of the forest. Size approximately 8-10mm. Can the fly be identified?
Thank you and best regards,
Bernd

Hi Bernd and Jürgen!
Parasyrphus, not Syrphus...

Hello Helge,
thank you very much for your correction. Could it then be Parasyhrpus punctulatus?
Best regards,
