I thought English language had a name for almost everything :) Very strange when we got a name in Danish...

Thank you Jeannette! I looked for another common name for this hoverfly but was unsuccessful. I found most just have the name Hoverfly or Syrphid Fly. Not as unique as other species.
Jeannette
Thank you Cindy :) Of course I will... didn't know you wanted Hoverflies in it as well, got a few others I can add :)
