Hallo! I?m new at this forum, a swedish "girl" 54 years old, that love flies Shock. Especially to take photografhs of them.

I have a lot of questions, but I start with only one. Wink

Isn?t she beautiful, this fascinating hoverfly with her beautiful colours.

But what is her name? I have two names to choose between: Ischyrosyrphus glaucius and Leucozona glaucia?

Yes, Amaira, welcome to this site.
About your question: In earlier years the name would have been Ischyrosyrphus glaucius, but nowadays the species is in the genus Leucozona, so it is Leucozona glaucia Grin
Greetings,
