Milesia crabroniformis
These rather uncommon hoverflies are the largest among the European species. The adults grow up to 22–25 millimetres (0.87–0.98 in) long and can mainly be encountered from June through October in evergreen and deciduous forests (Quercus and Fagus species), feeding on nectar of flowers of several plants (Apiaceae species, Sambucus ebulus, Hedera species, Cirsium species, etc.).
