Hi everyone!

I tend to Scaeva selenitica, although the yellow stripes clearly touch the edge of the tergites. The hairs in the face look more black than whitish, but difficult to say.

However it is not very likely there, that it developed in very warm conditions, but of course this fly is rather mobile...

Approx. 12 mm long

4. June 2026, Germany, Upper Bavaria, northern slopes of Mt. Hochfelln, about 1190 m a.s.l., coordinates 47.76919, 12.56317
