Hello!
This fly picture I took two days ago here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Is it a dark individual of
Merodon equestris (I would say so from the wing venation) or maybe
Volucella bombylans? Both species were very abundant here in the last weeks. Most
Merodons however were more typically coloured:

Thank you for any hints!

The wing venation is reliable in that respect, this is
Merodon equestris.
