Hi,
I photographed this hoverfly near Bologna, Italy on May 13th, 2020. Looking at the gallery, I guess it must be a male of Sphaerophoria scripta - is this correct?
Thanks a lot and happy new year to all Smile

Hello,

abdomen is longer than wings, so yes: S. scripta male.

Should better be placed in the Syrphidae subforum.
Best regards,
Jürgen
