I found this yesterday in damp open woodland. It is very hairy and has long smoky wings, but I don't think there are any abdominal markings.

It's a Cheilosia, might be carbonaria... Well, hairy... not that much I'd say.. |

Thanks Andre - hairiness is all relative. |

Well, why not the most likely candidate? My idea would be a male Cheilosia variabilis, or is that a stupid idea?  It seems to be big enough to be that species.Greetings Edited by Gerard Pennards on 27-05-2008 22:33 Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
