Hello, Kahis!

The male looks a lot like Phaonia angelicae (Muscidae). The unfortunate female is probably also a Phaonia, possibly P. pallida (P. angelicae female is similar but the thorax is browner). Both species are common (in southern Finland) on umbrellifers and other flowers.
Thank you very much! I did not recognize these as different species until now, but on a closer look I must say you are right.
