And this is the male !

Indeed often taken for a Syrphid

Aggghhhhh she cried! I was getting so confused as I had both this and the other one I posted labelled as Stomorhina. Then I thought about it and it started to worry me, they really are so different, so I thought I'd ask the question. NOW it's clear Shock, Sarah
