Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Xylota sylvarum?

Hello again,

At first glance I believed it to be some sort of Tenthredo, but at home I saw immediately it was a fly. I couldn't think of anything else bus Syrphidae, and I think it turns out to be Xylota, but I'm not sure which one. Can you tell by looking at those two images?

Thanks,

Andr

Hai Andre,
Clearly a female of Xylota segnis!
Characteristic are the spines on the underside of femur 3.
Greetings,

Okay,

Thanks for your help, Gerard. I hadn't noticed those.

Andr?
