not tenax, somewhere close to arbustorum but definitely one for specimen only det, especially as its from Spain.
Thanks again, Ficedula!! Yes, I see what you mean. I have been checking and yes, it might be something very related to arbustorum.
Enough of Eristalis :-O I have found quite a number of specimens of Sphaerophoria At first I simply decided that all were Sphaerophoria scripta but checking carefully I realized that they are too different and might be another species involved. What about this one? Sphaerophoria scripta? Sphaerophoria rueppellii? Or something else?
