Hi, today I got some flies along a small river. This is the third, may be ~ 10 mm, similar to a bombus.
SW-Germany, Baden-Württemberg, Region Heilbronn, about 240m above NN. Picture 1 of 3
Many thanks, Norbert

Hi,

Volucella bombylans male, forma plumata (Syrphidae). Like of the Empis livida of your last post, I had just created a portrait of this species in my forum Wink: http://insektenfo...adID=80334
