  6. Helophilus for sure, but not being familiar with European marsh flies I am not sure of the species.

  10. Oi, Ananka! A mosca é tão bonita, nunca pensei que diria isso de uma mosca, parece uma abelha. Sinto pela perda de seu gato, sei exatamente o que está sentindo, pois perdi uma gatinha que viveu mais de 20 anos. Morreu velhinha, os rins pifaram. Chorei aqui. Um abraço!

  18. I, too thought at first it was some kind of bee...maybe that is a type of camoflauge?
