Found today in the garden sitting on the blossom of the wild carrot. Can someone tell me, which species that is ?
Data: Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia , D-59821 Arnsberg, 8.30.2021,

Hi Volkmar, it's a female Eristalis - probably a E. pertinax, which should have yellow tarsi I & II.

Eristalis arbustorum I would say...

Supported! We cannot see the tarsi, but I have never seen a female of E. pertinax with such broad yellow tergite margins. Furthermore, E. pertinax has a longer pterostigma and darker eye hairs. Compare E. arbustorum (https://www.flick...405639174/) and E. pertinax (https://www.flick...771179127/) - there are differences!
