Dear all, last summer on a hike on mount Stoos I encountered this beautiful hoverfly which rested on my camera bag. Do you know what species it is? Thank you very much in advance! Best regards, Adrian AdrianBothe attached the following image:  [62.13Kb] Edited by AdrianBothe on 23-02-2022 08:23 |

My guess: Arctophila bombiformis. I'm not an expert. Greetings from the Prealps. |

Hey, thank you for the suggestion. While looking it up, I stumbled upon Volucella bombylans, which I believe could be the species. |
