Hello there are no stripes on the thoracic dorsum, but isn't it E.flava anyway? On Acer campestre at Lake Thun CH 10.05.2008 Regards Maja dipdip attached the following image:  [124.43Kb] Edited by dipdip on 12-05-2008 12:58 |

Well, normally flava has yellow bands on the abdomen which are broader than in this one. I would say more likely a female Epistrophe melanostoma. Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

I had thought the face was to pale, but when you say melanostoma and with the help of photoshop I can make out the black mouth edge. Thank you for helping! Maja dipdip attached the following image:  [135.32Kb] |
