Am I even correct that it's a Syrphidae? Also, how do I attach further photos without adding to the thread? I have noticed some posts have multi photos. nick smith attached the following image:  [101.97Kb] |

Hi, Nick! It's a male Eristalis (see the "wave" in wing venation, typical for Eristalini), most likely E. tenax. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
