Hi, I'm a bit lost with this 7mm hairy fellow. I have not been concentrating too much to Syrphidae so any hint for genus? May 31.2009 Loviisa, Finland. Jari JariF attached the following image:  [168.75Kb] Edited by JariF on 05-06-2009 18:04 |

It is a Pipizella male. For identification, you need to have a good view on the genitalia. For that, you must pull it out a little. If you do that carefully, it can stay attached on the tip of the abdomen. |

Thank's Andre. I'll refresh the creature and check the genitals. Jari |

You are lucky: there are not so many species known from Finland  |

Would have been my guess too. Has also been our only Pipizella-species caught on our trip through Finland in 2003. But you have to practise on your photography  |
