11th June 2008. M?laga, south Spain. Size: same than an Episyrphus balteatus (much bigger than Syritta pipiens. that is a mistakable one). Female. Habitat: in an unknown Apiaceae flower. Can be identified? Thanks. |

It's a female, these are generally larger than males, and within females the size differs, they can be quite large, as this one is... As for flaviventris, that species has a lot more yellow on the abdomen, and also some other characters like the pollinosity on the head that is different. So this is definitely a female Syritta pipiens! greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

P. D. Gerard, do you have seen my Eristalinus thread? Have you some idea of what can be it? |
