At first sight, this looked to me like another Chrysotoxum sp., but it doesn't seem to have long antenna (so I remembered something!). What do you guys think? Thanks, Sarah |

I would say Eupeodes but there are better specialists around than me.

Exactly what I had thought for the Chrysotoxum! Hope you're right, that way I'll have the two to compare,  Sarah |

This is Eupeodes indeed, corollae to be precise! A female. See the short antennae, for example, in comparison to the Chrysotoxum? Edited by Andre on 18-11-2005 23:47 |

That's great! Now I have the two for comparison. Yes I do see the difference Andre and it was thanks to the previous discussion that I at least didn't set off down the wrong path! Thanks to you all, Sarah |
