Hi,
found on 01-June-2020 in a nature reserve, former sand dunes of river Rhine, Germany, Rhineland Palatinate, "Mainzer Sand", Mainz
Many bees, some of them very rare, nist there in the sand and the fly was flying rapidly among them and seemed to search...
Can it be further identified?
Many thanks and regards,
Stella
