This hoverfly was found i a lush forest edge, close to streaming water 24th of june, about 150 km west of Stockholm, Sweden. I suppose it is an Eristalis, but which one of them?

Janis,

Looks like a female arbustorum to me. But I am no specialist, so you better wait for more expert opinions. Frown

¡Saludos! Smile

Sounds like a good suggestion to me. Here's a photo from a different angle where the front is more visible.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
