Found this fly in the crater of Volcán Bernardino, Canary Islands, La Palma (about 1200msm) on March 20th, 2013.
Is it Myatropa florea or are there similar species? They seem to be very abandoned on the whole island.

Thanks, Marc

Yes, Myathropa florea it is. The only other species in Europe lives on Madeira....
