First I thought this to be E. nemorum. But in Bot/Van de Meutter it saß that this species shouöd have very short pterostigma. So the only alternative I see would be E. similis - help please! Honey-bee size, 28.06.2024 in our garden in Rheinbach near Bonn (Germany), 210 m above sea level. Thank you for your help!
