Hi

trying to "iD" different Eristalis, to look after the right details I would be very happy If anybody could control my tries. Confirm or adjust.
According to result of this tries, if well done, I can feel more sure in future for own Eristalis ID's in some clear cases.

Thanks a lot! Brigitte

E. arbustorum: Date and ID is noted direct on photos.

Brigitte, so funny! I am doing exactly the same with my pictures!! That means you have here another amateur fighting hardly with the little creatures! Wink

To me this is crearly Eristalis arbustorum. Short hairy aristas, very pace face, the stigma in the right position and general aspect fits to perfection. I guess the experts can add more reliable features and learn a bit more Smile

Thanks at both of you!
E.arbustorum is really a small "sweet" one :-)

Is the form and position of the stigma such a confident attibute? Are there no variations in same species?
