Sphaerophoria scripta? <=
Lennart Bendixen
Hi,

same here: Is my guess correct and is this the only species in middle Europe having this slim body?

Thank you!

Thanks again, Jürgen! Does that implicate there are females of other species that have such a long body?

Greetings, Lennart

No, the females are virtually unidentifiable in the field. Only the males of S. scripta own such a long abdomen.
Best regards,
Jürgen
