 Hi All

Another from my recent jaunts.
On the edge of a small mixed copse, by the side of a river.
First I thought that this might be a Eristalis, but I suddenly realised that there was no loop in the wing vein.

This looks very similar to the image in Ball & Morris (albeit an image of a female) and some of Steven Falk's image show some variation that I think could encompass this one?

Could someone please confirm or set me straight?

​Thanks, Gareth

 Hi,

Epistrophe eligans (female and male) is unmistakeable.
Best regards,

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
