Temnostoma - Temnostoma obscurum

Temnostoma - Temnostoma obscurum
Neepawa, Manitoba, Canada
July 1, 2008

Moved
Moved from Temnostoma.

This is probably T. obscura
I am reasonably confident in calling this T.obscura. Congrats on the 3nd rarest species of Temnostoma. Although this is mostly because no one goes out and collects or takes pictures in Western Canada :P.

We don't see the pollinose fasciae above the scutellum we should in barberi and T. balyras doesn't make this far North.

Moved
Moved from Syrphid Flies.

Temnostoma, confirmed.
Bill, when you're certain of an ID, you can put your post there directly. (I'd guess you know that, but wasn't sure.)
