Hi,
is this one photo enough to identify the animal as Syrphus ribesii?
It is the only one I could take and I am not sure, if relevant details to identify are missing...
Found 14-July-2019 at Altrheinsee Eich near Mainz, Germany.
Many thanks and regards,
Stella

Hello Stella,

it is a Syrphus male and cannot be determined after photos in this resolution (not visible, if eyes are hairy). Look here (in german): https://insektenf...adID=93380
