This tiny Syrphid was photographed on flowers along a riding path over an old clearing. It's a female so I know ID will be difficult. Perhaps the small size is significant.

Size: ~4-5mm
Date: 21 August 2009
Location: On Senecio jacobaea and Tripleurospermum inodorum (Helsingborg, Sweden)

Thanks!

Certain ID impossible, but looking at the markings most likely a female Sph. scripta.
