Keine "Hummel", sondern die Hummel-Keilfleck|#schwebfliege (#Eristalis intricaria). Typischer Fall von #Mimikry. Auf dicke Hose machen, aber nix dahinter - inkl. Hummelgebrummsel.

Die Hainschwebfliege (Episyrphus balteatus) ist sicherlich eine der am häufigsten zu beobachtenden Schwebfliegenarten, aber deswegen kann man sie ja trotzdem mal zeigen.

Die Hornissenschwebfliege (#Volucella zonaria) ist die größte heimische Schwebfliegenart. Sie erinnert an eine Hornisse. Aktuell kann man sie an Blüten, z. B. am Sommerflieder, finden.

Die Gemeine Waldschwebfliege (Volucella pellucens) ist durch das elfenbeinweiße 2. Hinterleibssegment und die gefiederte Fühlerborste zu identifizieren (pellucens = durchscheinend).

Look out little fly! Do you see what's behind those stamens?

Myathropa florea is a very common species of #hoverfly in Europe and North Africa. It is about 12 mm long. The larvae develop in puddles and muddy water.

Here's a little syrphid #fly. I think it's a Margined Calligrapher (Toxomerus marginatus). I like this picture because the veins in the wings are so easy to see.
You can tell that this fly is in the family #syrphidae by looking at its wings. If you zoom in on the middle of a wing you'll see a place where 2 lines cross, making a + sign. The short line is a real vein, but the long one is a false vein. It's just a dark ridge, not a real vein. Nearly all syrphids have this.

A Violet Leafwalker (Chalcosyrphus chalybeus). These flies are wasp mimics. They even flick their wings the way mud-dauber wasps do. From some angles they are dark, Darth Vader black. From other angles they have the color of cobalt blue bottles.

The long hoverfly (Sphaerophoria scripta) has a worldwide distribution. The larva feed on aphids, the adult on nectar and pollen.

Els sírfids (Syrphidae) són uns dípters que s'alimenten de flors i adopten uns colors similars a les abelles i vespes. Aquest és un mascle d'Eristalis tenax.
