Paul, That was also what I thought. With the whitish pilosity... Pierre Duhem |

not only the pilosity but also the dark mark on the wings and the protruding face (you can just see the face through the flower...) make this fly a C. caerulescens. In Belgium this species made a remarkable upcoming. Before 1991 only 4 specimens were known, all in the surroundings of Li?ge, nowadays about everyone who looks at syrphids has it on his garden list (so do I  ). |
