Hello!

Thanks to all, who identified my last Syrphidae!

Please identify this Syrphidae, too. It is also a very nice fly.

Can you specify its sex, too?

Thanks a lot

Hi Xaver,

Female of Temnostoma vespiforme. But I may be wrong, because my knowledge of Syrphidae is rather limited.

Please always add where and when you collected your specimens!
