Hi
searching a close shot of face of H.trivittatus in Gallery, I could not found one . . .
Switzerland, 430 msm, 20.09.2011, near small private garden biotope
Is this really Helophilus trivittatus (female: pic 1, male: pic 3 ?) and would a face-pic be welcome for Gallery?
Thanks and best regards, Brigitte

Hi, Brigitte!
As far as I know your
Helophilus is indeed
Helophilus trivittatus. But I cannot tell if pic 3 is a male. I cannot recognize them just for the face :@
About your question about the galley, I guess a shot of the face showing the yellowish line would be very welcome :) ;)

pic 3 is a male, the eyes are more or less parallel at the top before they diverge, the gap between them is also less than on the female. The female's eyes diverge gradually.
