Hi everybody,

could this be Brachyopa panzeri? I know, Brachyopa is not so easy to ID... is it possible to narrow the result (Brachyopa)

Seen in Germany, Baden-Württemberg, boarder to Swizerland, Waldshut, sitting on a walnut tree stump - licking the liquid of the tree, 05 April 2011

Thanks a lot,
Chris

Hello Chris,

I think that your only options are Brachyopa dorsata and panzeri. I've read that panzeri lacks bristles on the scutellum. I don't know if this is an accurate id feature or not. If so, then it should be Brachyopa panzeri.

Best wishes,
John
