Hi to all! I can't find a better match than Syrphus vitripennis, though the yellow of the abdomen is rather black. Is it the look between laying eggs and dying? Or am I totally wrong? The size fits to S. vitripennis. Found 5.7.2022 in Germany, Upper Bavaria, next to Traunstein, about 580 m asl, coordinates 47.87032, 12.66569 on a meadow full of umbellifers.

Syrphus vitripennis or torvus. Not visible, if the eyes are hairy.

Thanks Jürgen! So the colour of the abdomen seems to only try out it's range of variability (and doesn't lead to a different species). Best greetings Rupert |
