Hello everyone,
Is it possible to identify the species here? Found on July 5, 2026, in my garden in Northern Bavaria, at an elevation of 280 m above sea level.
Many thanks and best regards, Eugen

Hello Eugen,
Volucella pellucens is correct and it's a female.

Or is it perhaps
Volucella inflata?

Hi Jan, thanks - you are right: it is
Volucella inflata! I saw it only once and have 1 blurry photo.
