Hello,

is it possible to tell the genus or species of this 8 mm female from only these bad pictures? Possibly Melangyna quadrimaculata? On a meadow near a flowering sloe hedge, northwest Germany.

Some other Syrphidae from two days ago. Spring finally seems to proceed :D.

Hello once again,

may it be Platycheirus albimanus? Five days later together with the female below I also photographed some males: http://insektenfo...post348602
