Location: Switzerland, 430 müM, near small wetland and edge of a wood
Date: 05.08.09
Size: dont remember, big as a bumble-bee

I'm looking through my august pics and I found several "unknown" insects. I'm not sure, but this eyes belongs to fly? Or not? But Volucella bombylans or var plumata don't looks like this . . .

Could anybody please help me? Thank you!
Regards, Brigitte
