Hello! Despite of 1 ?C and temporary snow showers this medium sized (like an Episyrphus) hoverfly was feeding today on a Tussilago blossom (also some Eristalis there) here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Is it a Parasyrphus punctulatus? Thanks in advance!

It is difficult to see, but I am inclined to think Paul is right: Melangyna lasiophthalma. The spots are more rectangular in Melangyna. theo Zeegers |

Hello, Paul and Theo! Thanks for your answers! In March 2005 a supposed M. lasiopthalma turned out to be a P. punctulatus, this year the other way... ;-) Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
