Still another Eristalis. We do have very cold now, Hills nearby has snow on the top . . . Switzerland, 412 müM, balcony Date: 14.10.09 Size: about 10mm It's a very forceful fly, very dark, with the clear parts beside the "Schildchen" it looks like this fly would have a waist. Abdomen has well visible, hard "Abgrenzungen". For me it looks not like any other Eristalis I saw until today. I have several Eristalis sitting on the flowers, no more moving, I think wating for some degree more, to move again. Could anyone give me the ID? Thank you!

OT don't put Andre in cold water :-) I thought with syrphid-men on a small thing with two wings, 6 legs and a size about 10-12 mm puuuh, my english is far away from perfect :-) |
