Hello!

A very small Syrphid (4 mm). When it was flying I first thought of a small Ichneumidae wasp. At a relatively moist place of the forest on Aegopodium podagraria, June-06, northwest Germany.


Two additional pictures (the second somewhat larger):

May well be two different species. Identifying Sphegina based on pictures is too risky (for me).

Thanks nevertheless, Andre! Found on the same plant at the same place, I concluded it must have been the same species...
