 I made this pic August 13th 2007 in Belgium.
I think its a (Bombus magnus) but im missing the white behind.
It was a really big one.. I heard it comming fly and landed on this flowers.
Can someone tell me if I'm right with the name ?
I hope I posted this one in the right group.
Thanx for reply.

Harry

 looks like the British form of queen Bombus terrestris, i understand Continental terrestris have white tip to abdomen and if this in invariable then perhaps this is a visitor from GB?

 Hello,

If it is in Tongres, then it is not truth "audax" (the ssp. of England)

From time to time, on the continent, one finds specimens "audax" with the russet-red abdominal end instead of white. It is true in Morocco, for example!
