Thread subject: Diptera.info :: 2 syrphids to identify please...

Hello all,

Here are 2 Syrphidae pictures I took in Quebec, Canada (near Vermont USA) last July, 3rd, 2010.

At first I thought it was the same species but I realize now that it is surely not the case. The second one looks like a male Allograpta obliqua but I'm not sure.

Is somebody able to identify each species or genus?

Thank you very much for your appeciated help :)

Michel

Second may be Allograpta obliqua.

Thank you John for your help... I think that the first one is a female of the same species...

Cheers,
