Hello, I believe this hoverfly is a Paragus-species. Is there enough detail visible to potentially identify it as P. haemorrhous? eyes with uniform hair, black scutellum, longer antennae Date found: 26 Sept. 2026, Hagen (Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia), fallow land at the edge of the woods, likely on *Erigeron annuus*, size approx. 4.5 mm Axel Steiner attached the following image:  [205.73Kb] Edited by Axel Steiner on 02-10-2026 20:20 Best regards!

Hello Axel, the genitalia look larger on image 3 than the ones of P. haemorrhous. Do you have more photos (ventrally, laterally)? I think the ecology (edge of the wood) votes for haemorrhous.

Hello Eric, sorry :-( Unfortunately, I only have a blurry picture left showing the animal urinating. Axel Steiner attached the following image:  [237.25Kb] Best regards! Axel Steiner --------------------------------- Breckerfeld, Germany www.natur-in-nrw.de |

Thanks Axel, that looks (as good as it can be) reliable for P. haemorrhous.
