Is this a normal (maybe freshly emerged) Thaumatomyia notata or s.th. else? In a garden in Vienna, early June.

It does look like a female Thaumatomyia notata, but I don't know why the abdomen is so white.

Chloropidae: Thaumatomyia notata (Meigen, 1830) female; confirmed. It ingested honey dew or another fluid. The species is known to suck up repellent orange exsudates of Agelastica alni (Chrysomelidae), too, published by my deceased teacher Prof. Pschorn-Walcher. |
