Hi, This Eristalis I saw in Rudolstadt, Thuringia, about three weeks ago. Can E. similis be confirmed? Many thanks, Sundew |

Hi, Sundew! I have very little experience in this, but if I would have been asked to put a name to that Hoverfly, I would have said it is Eristalis similis. The stigma fits to perfection and the general features seem to match too. But wait for the opinion of an expert

I would say so, see the long pterostigma.

I see you also point out to the pterostigma that led me to my species guess. Many thanks to both of you! |
