Hello

today I found on Helleborus foetidus and Eranthis hyemalis under a big tree a Scaeva with spots like S. dignota - or is it just S. selenica?
I probably could make more fotos if necessary.

Thanks for helping! Regards Maja

Hello Maja,
It is indeed a female of Scaeva selenitica.
I see them often very early in the year, sometimes in large numbers on blooming willow!
Greetings,
