In an area with wet meadows, orchards and deciduous forest (chestnuts, oaks, laurels ...). The area is located in northwest Spain, near the coast, temperate climate.

First pictures show a female Chrysotoxum festivum. The last blurry picture is probably Chrysotoxum elegans, but that's not a sure ID.
