Eupeodes luniger, I think.

@Jonas: I think this is one of the three "Eupeodes species". It isn't Eupeodes corollae, but the lines of the wings (as far as I can see they) are near Eupeodes lapponicus.
What do you think - perhaps Eupeodes lapponicus?

thanx a lot

Hi,

I accually didn't think about E. lapponicus. I'm not really familiar with that species..
So you better wait for specialists.

But it shure does resemble very well to E. luniger :)
I don't have my key here, but tonight I will, so when nobody has answered, I will check it out :)

Bye, Jonas

Fine, "E. lapponicus"....I have suspected this..:-)
I saw a lot of photos of E. luniger in the web, but some of them showed "E. lapponicus". The minimal different between both, was probably not recognized.
Jonas and Amalia ... thanx a lot;)

Cheers
Markus
