Hello,
I think, Abia is correct. Could it be lonicerae? If I meet them in my garden, they nearly always rest on Honeysuckle Lonicera xylosteum. But I never saw any larvae. They have been pretty common in the last year.
Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), nearby deciduous forest (oak, beech ...), May 5th 2023.
Fly 1 + 2 are one individual, fly 3 is another.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
