Hello! On first glance I thought, all these rather large and robust Eristalis from yesterday at the forest (northwest Germany) were E. tenax (the only species seen so far here this year). But on a closer look I saw, that the legs are yellow! So all E. pertinax (two females and a male)? Thanks!

You're right J?rgen, E. pertinax female and male because of the yellow fore and mid tarsi.

Hello, Stephane! Stephane Lebrun wrote: You're right J?rgen, E. pertinax female and male because of the yellow fore and mid tarsi. Thanks a lot! I knew that E. tenax was unlikely because of those light tarsi, but I was not sure if other species than E. pertinax were possible (the E. pertinax males I knew had a more conical abdomen).
