Hello, there are too many Syrphidae similar similar to this for me. What species (or genus) is this? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [49.49Kb] |

Thank you. There seems to be only one very common species - Merodon equestris. With numerous varieties. Would it be too uncareful to label the pictures as Merodon equestris? Michael |

It would be unwise indeed, because it's Criorhina berberina.
