It's not always easy Ginni. With this one, because of its size, I started searching for bees. But then I noticed that the head and the eyes much more resembled hoverflies. And then it wasn't that hard anymore☺☺
Dank je Liertje. Dit was m'n allereerste!!! Er zaten er veel op deze witte bloemschermen die op fluitekruid lijken maar het volgens mij niet zijn. Ik moet eens een keer serieus in al die witte schermbloemige planten duiken☺☺
Thanks Ginni!! This was my first hornet mimic hoverfly and I was surprised how big they are! Most hoverflies are quit small, much smaller than a bee, but this one was as large as, maybe larger than, a large bumblebee. This fellow is about an inch long!! Another Dutch name for him is City Giant☺
