it is a syrphidae for sure, and it looks a bit like Episyrphus balteatus, but I don't know if you have this in Israel. |

Actually we do! it's a bad photo, but will do. just to make sure, i also have those two common syrphidae in my garden Eupeodes-corollae Paragus quadrifasciatus could it be one of those? finklez attached the following image:  [46.74Kb] Edited by finklez on 22-07-2009 10:45 The Diptera set: http://www.flickr...618993626/ |

The pupae of Eupeodes and Paragus or any other genus doesn't look like this typical Episyrphus shape i.e. thick in front and abruptly becoming smaller towards the end, with a long "tail". Other genera have more or less the same thickness or become gradually smaller with only a short "tail". |
