As indicated on a previous thread I made two tours to Bulgaria this year, principally as a Botanist, but inevitably one cannot ignore the rich diversity of spectacular and interesting insects. I photographed a number of flies on each of the tours and have already posted some images. This Syrphid from Bezbog looks as if it might be Chrysotoxum elegans but I am conscious that there might be other similar species in Bulgaria so would welcome confirmation or otherwise from someone more knowledgeable than me. Many thanks Alan. |

Here is a second image, the only other one that I managed before the specimen flew.... |

Thank you Paul. So at least I had genus correct but species uncertain. Alan |
