Have you collected it?
It looks very interesting, but to bring it to a species level is too risky based on a picture.

No, not collected, it just had time to do this picture :|
Ok, thanks for your answer, i guessed it wouldn't be possible, but has it seems more special that the one i usually got...

This is indeed an interesting specimen! My guess is that it belongs a still undescribed species near Eumerus grandis. This species is currently known from a few specimens from Serbia and Croatia. A pity that you didn't collect it...
Cheers

Ok, i will. ;)
Dry or in alcohol? Female or male? Any preferences for species?

In 70% alcohol please, would be best.
But if you have dried specimens, that is also okay.
The more males, the better, but if you have caught pairs/copulas of Eumerus and/or Paragus, then I would like to see them as a couple.
Merodon, both is fine, but males is the best. Of the other genera both is fine.
Of Platycheirus males are preferred, and copula.
I also sent you a PM,
Cheers, André
