Summary

[edit]
Description
English: According to the photographer, the insect might be a male of Volucella inflata. Another user revised the species determination; according to him, it is a male of Volucella pellucens for sure.
The plant is Astrantia major. (To be determined whether it's Astrantia major subsp. involucrata or subsp. major.)
In Slovenia (and a few kilometres to the north, in Carinthia, Austria), three Astrantia species (four taxa) can be found: A. major (two subspecies/varieties), A. bavarica and A. carniolica. Six images by this photographer show Astrantia, presumably the same species(?), taken on two subsequent days in close proximity: The two Volucella images provide a scale: The insect is ca. 12–15 or 13–17 mm (depending on the species determination) long (typical body length). This means that the Astrantia umbels are ca. 18–20 mm or more in diameter, which in turn means Astrantia major.
