Grassland setting with rich vegetation diversity 20m from small stream.
A common species in this area.
Very busily nectaring on Tanacetum vulgare.
size: 6-8mm.
10th Aug 2021.
Flensburg, N.Germany.
54°45'14.8"N 9°25'15.3"E

On 12th Aug (https://diptera.i...ost_424714) none were seen on T. vulgare but several were on Cirsium vulgare in the same area. They were still on C. vulgare on 13th Aug when some were seen mating.
