2 days ago near Silkeborg. Jutland Denmark.

Are these both P. aurigera females? Pictures taken almost at the same time, same place. They were together with 2 P. aurigera males. I'm little concerned with the right one.

Best Regards Erik

Only 5 years ago, south Germany was already northern for this species.

This might be the most nothern record ever.

Silkeborg is in central Jutland. It has been seen in the northern part http://www.fugleognatur.dk/artintro.asp?ID=8173&dknavn=Gylden%20pragtsnylteflue&latin=Phasia%20aurigera.
