https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baccha_elongata Baccha elongata is present in most of Europe and in North America. These hoverflies inhabit coniferous and deciduous forests, woodland, hedgerows, scrub and gardens. Generally they prefer shady places low to the ground.
Baccha elongata can reach a length of 7–11 mm. It is one of the smaller hoverflies, the wing length is around 4.5 to 8 mm. The long, very slender body of these hoverflies is unmistakable. They also differ from other hoverflies by their elongated, thin abdomen ending in club. This club-shaped abdomen is black with a yellow spot on the 3rd and 4th segments. Legs are brownish yellow. Forehead is brightly hairy.
Adults can be seen on the wing from spring until autumn, in two generations. As with most other members of the subfamily Syrphinae the larvae are predatory though there seems to be a preference for a variety of different ground-layer aphids. This species overwinters as a larva.
