Hello! Sorry about the poor picture quality. These Eristalis visited flowers yesterday here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. The size was inbetween that of E. arbustorum and E. tenax, but more like tenax. I think they were bigger than the "normal" E. interrupta females, but what else could it be if not interrupta? Thanks for any hints!  
Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hello Juergen, You are quite right, it can't be anything else than a female of Eristalis interrupta. There is, as in all these species, some variation in the amount of yellow on the abdomen! greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

For a novice can you say why it cannot be other than Eristalis interrupta. Perhaps what particular features lead you to that conclusion. Many thanks Gordon |
