Hello,

can someone help me please to identificate this Sphaerophoria sp. ?

In the shots it was just born from some minutes :) there is the larvae too.

Maybe it's the Sphaerophoria scripta?

Should be scripta on account of the long abdomen

Hmm. I am not sure. It's just hatched so the abdomen will still be 'bloated' and longer than usual. And the male genitalia (the little I can see) don't look exactly typical for S. scripta, but it may just the the viewing angle.
