Location: About 65 km NW of Stockholm, Sweden Date: 2006-AUG-31 Habitat: Meadow near shallow sea Size: 5-10 mm Excuse these blurry images. I thought perhaps the blueish abdominal pattern wasn't so common that it might be possible to ID anyway ... Thanks in advance! crex attached the following image:  [161.85Kb] Edited by crex on 07-02-2008 07:17 |

I see that there are 44 species of Platycheirus in Sweden, Is it safe to call this one P. albimanus!? |

Difficult.. the second picture supposes a protruded face, which may tell us it's a different species. But as you said, it's blurry..  |
