Hi

Could this be Brachyopa? It would be my first one too, like Eumerus. Nice, if this hoverfly could be ID'd.

Switzerland, 430 msm, 15.04.2011, near edge of a wood and small wetland, sitting on a big stone

Thanks a lot, Kind Regards, Brigitte

Hi Andre :)

mmpf, not catched.
I didn't thought that it could be a syrphid. At home with the big picture on display screen I saw that it coud be a Brachyopa.

Today I was again at nearly same place. 2 Brachyopas I missed (they are very fast because they are doing nothing then whatching the photographer.), 3rd was sitting down on my arm. Now this syrphid is sitting in a small tube, wating on its travel (I hope that it is a Brachyopa).

Thanks for Confirmation/ID
Brigitte
Edit: attach: Brachyopa from today (not catched)
