Hello Pristurus, The two bands of hair on the eyes are typical for Eristalis tenax. Greetings, Ectemnius Edited by Ectemnius on 13-11-2013 17:37 |

Well, E. tenax is common throughout Europe and they are approximately the same size. But sometimes there's one who is just HUGE. I found such a specimen this year in Belgium. So they will get this big in Germany too! Greetings, Ectemnius |
