first when i was it in the field i thought "a nice Syrphid" but back home, when i had a look to the gallery i couldn't find it ... Seine et Marne, 50 km south of Paris, France. about 4-5 mm. it seems to be distinctive ... pat_der2003 attached the following image:  [109.96Kb] Edited by pat_der2003 on 22-08-2009 20:29 |

Don't worry, they fool me all the time, especially in areas where they are very common. And they are rather variable too!! But all seem to be only 1 species. |
