It is better to say nothing, I hardly know anything about hoverflies, but isn't this a Helophilus trivittatus girl?

Yet, you say something again! :-))) But! Helophilus trivittatus is correct, the only thing is tha't it's a male, look at the knob at the end of the abdomen. In Helophilus males are dichoptic..... Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
