Hello Forum, this should be a Syrphidae, not so? I think Chrysogaster solstitialis (male) shoiuld be right. What do you think? Hagen, NRW, Germany, on the flower of Anthriscus sylvestris, near beech forest, 150-200msm, May 24th 2011 Best regards, Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image:  [88.8Kb] Edited by Josef Buecker on 15-01-2012 21:34 |

Yes, in Nordrhein-Westfalen this is very likely to be C. solstitialis: blackish wings without yellow base, antenna orange, purple/bluish sheen on thorax (but watch out with such specimens in southern Europe, e.g. C. mediterraneus is very similar). |
