a beautiful unknown

[balistar]

Biker, a beautiful one, indeed
First i thought, maybe an Osmia cornuta, but it doesn't really fit. There are so many various.....

....just as of these hoverflies, i can't classify them

[balistar]

this bee was very diligent, look at her big pollen panties

[balistar]

today i detected this big spider web and thought the spider must be a big one...



but it wasn't, it was rather small with long thin legs



Edit: now i was able to take a better photo

I also have this hoverfly in my gallery and recognized it as Episyrphus balteatus, marmalade hoverfly

Ha, this one i had suspected, but did not dare to write it
Thank you so much, Biker

[Biker]

The black drawings on the middle back look like mustaches

[balistar]

Biker, i detected two more..., without mustaches

the Syrphus ribesii (i think)

[balistar]

and this one, Chrysotoxum cautum (i think)

[balistar]

A good reason not to clean my windows
a lovely little caterpillar had itself wrapped up in a cocoon on the window pane to my terrace,
yesterday a cute brimstone butterfly "hatched"

waiting until the wings were dried out, then flew off to the flowers

Syrphus ribesii fits wel. From the Chrysotoxum I think you have the big one - Chrysotoxum fasciolatum

...i still have some I did not recognize despite search
not only hoverflies..

What a beautiful observation from hatching

[balistar]

Biker, aha, thank you - my source didn't even list the fasciolatum -,
and good luck with the search for your still unidentified ones

[Biker]

thanks.

hm, have a look here

maybe it is yet rather this one: Chrysotoxum vernale - even more black, like on your picture
naja so wird es nix

[balistar]

Yessss, Biker, Chrysotoxum vernale, that's absolutely it - thanks
even the legs fit
and i also found a photo from the side, everything fits from the description




funny, a Spring hover fly (Frühlingsschwebfliege) at the end of summer

[Biker]

[Biker]

on the hunt..


while looking for the mentioned picture I found another crab spider with small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae)



I could have sorted my gallery better

[Biker]

[balistar]

Wow, there with the small tortoiseshell and also in the second picture
are three guys at once looking for "food"

beautiful pictures, Biker

[Biker]

thanks
