Hi, Today I saw this Syrphid male licking aphid honey dew from a leaf. The abdomen pattern recalls a bit Melanostoma, but he was much bigger. ID help is greatly appreciated, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [137.46Kb] |

Many thanks - that makes me proud! Why so great - is it a rare or peculiar species? |

It is rather uncommun (at least in France), ans so peculiar indeed.
