Hello!
I was asthonished that after some very cold autumn days I still found some Syrphids yesterday here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Are these a female and male of
Eupeodes luniger? Thanks in advance!

E. luniger was still active in my garden (Buckinghamshire, central England) on 1 and 2 November, didn't get a chance to look for it today. Also Myathropa florea on 1 November, latest I've ever seen that.

Myathropa florea was numerous in late summer here, but I haven't seen it for many weeks. Some days ago there were hundreds of
Episyrphus balteatus and
Eupeodes here (also some
Eristalis and
Sphaerophoria) - but that was just
before the cold snap with day temperatures between 0 and 4 ?C...
