and here are the howerflies from today, visiting the flowers on my balcony:

Location: Switzerland, near Lake Zurich, 412 müM, balcony
Date, 07.10.09, today
size: about 9 mm?

I'll try to give an ID . . . (try and error - system) : is it Eristalis interrupta?

- saw and took pics today again from: Platycheirus albimanus, Syritta pipiens and Myathropa florea

Thank you for your help, Greetings from Switzerland, Brigitte

E. arbustorum female, I'd say.

Thank you Maja!

still have no key :-( but it is not "forgotten" - it was simply to much for me this summer

liebi grüess vom zürisee
(jetzt regnet es, habe noch immer ca. 5 verschiedene Schwebfliegen auf dem Balkon und komm aus dem Staunen nicht mehr raus)

Sich staunen ist gesund ;)
