Hello,
this syrphidae larva decimated the aphids on my Oleander bush in our garden (Furth im Wald, Bavaria, Germany, 29.05.2017). Is it possible to dermine it?

Regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid, from what I can see it's probably a Scaeva pyrastri (green, white stripe, cylindrical, not flattened... Key in Colour Guide to Hoverfly Larvae, Rotheray)
