Hello,
Last week I met a male Eupeodes on Tripleurospermum maritimum (Asteraceae) on the Baltic beach. I suppose it is E. luniger, because the yellow spots do not reach the abdomen margin. However, I find the legs, especially the hind legs, very dark for this species. Can this feature point to another species, or is it just a matter of season (e.g., bugs get darker in autumn)? Is there an Eupeodes expert who knows the variability of E. luniger?
Thanks, Sundew
