Hi,

Fly about 15 mm. For me she looks like Merdon.
Thanks for help.

Look at the spines on the hind legs and trochanter, this is either M ruficornis or M armipes....
Cheers

Now I see it (Van Veen). Better view of the hind legs would be helpful.
I hope for next season.
Thank you, Martin.
Best regard,
Pia

I wasn't sure of my ID, but should then have checked better. And I should study more on Merodon! So if you collect it next time... Wink
