if this is bombus then it does not fit into diptera, fits into hymenoptera(sibbling of diptera)/apidae (as far as I know). Doh, the antenae are the kind I havent seen on bombus. highly searchable nature photo galery --> http://agrozoo.ne....jsp?l2=en |

Ahh sorry. Translating that text there for you: Body length 11 - 17 mm. Volucella bombylans mimics mostly Bombus terrestris and rarely B. lapidarius, hence it appears in many forms. highly searchable nature photo galery --> http://agrozoo.ne....jsp?l2=en |
