Any help would be appreciated, although I understand if it's not possible to ID some of them based on just a photo. Possible Eristalis species? billsbirding attached the following image: ![]() [174.4Kb] Edited by billsbirding on 22-04-2013 23:39 |

Last one! Could this be Cheilosia vernalis, or am I being a bit optimistic hoping for an ID to species level.

Welcome to the forum Bill ... just a small tip though - it helps if you post each species in a different thread. Mixed threads can be confusing to follow and difficult to search for ![]() Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

I guess I'm just used to uploading photos in bulk to one post; thought it would be silly to clog up the forum with four different threads, but I'll take note for next time ![]() Edited by billsbirding on 23-04-2013 01:14 |

Hi Bill, the first two flies are definitely Eristalis as you can see the dipped vein. Pale front tarsi mark both out as E. pertinax, the second fly looks like a hairy spring-brood specimen. E. luniger looks probable but from this picture it's difficult to be certain, and I don't think there are that many Cheilosia that can be readily identified from a picture Jeremy Edited by jeremyr on 23-04-2013 08:49 |
