Found this one in my father's childhood collection.. ca 50 years old.

Norway, 12-15mm.

Looks like ancient Volucella bombylans (female) from the Linné collection! Smile

In the Linné collection it would have lost some of that colour. Wink

Linné didn't visit Norway, as far as I know....

In the Linné collection it would be Musca bombylans. That's my sort of taxonomy Smile What went wrong?
