 Hello, it seems this larva is a Scaeva sp, possibly S. selenitica.

Photo taken on May 8th, 2018, 20 km NW of Paris.

Your opinion ?

 Hi Bernard, it looks more like an Eupeodes sp. - Scaeva has a central white line.

Greetings, Eric

 Hello,

I think it looks like Scaeva selenetica which is quite différent of S. pyrastri whose dorsal line is continuous.

It remembers me this thread : https://diptera.i...pid=254498
But I am not a spécialist !

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
