 Hello,

is it possible to id this Syrphidae (just catched by Misumena vatia)?
Shot in the middle of Germany in July, some years ago.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Wahrmut

 Hi,

the unmistakable Episyrphus balteatus (female).


BTW: Better place Syrphidae requests in the Syrphidae subforum.
Best regards,
Jürgen

 Hello and thank you, Jürgen!
Haven't been here for years and didn't see, that there is a special place for Syrphidae ID - sorry...

Best regards,

Wahrmut
