Field Notes

Notes:

Diese Schwebfliege ist ziemlich groß, sie hat eher was von einer Schmeißfliege. Dass sie auf der Stelle schweben kann, ist schwer vorstellbar ;) ////////////// This hoverfly is quite big, it resambles more a fat blow fly. That it can float on one spot in the air is almost unthinkable ;)
