I found this Microdon in the outskirt of Szeged, S. Hungary, on 05. 05.2012. I think it is M. myrmicae for the red scutellum. (Microdon mutabilis does not occur in Hungary or in the countries around.) I'd appreciate a confirmatis of this ID, if it is possible.
Thanks in advance!
Henrik

This is either M. mutabilis or M. myrmicae. ID of adults is not possible. The fact that M. mutabilis is not yet known from Hungary is not a very reliable clue...
