Photographed in my garden on 21/04/08.

I can't make up my mind on E.luniger or E.nielseni.

E.luniger is very common in gardens, but on the other hand E.nielseni has Lunules with blunt outer ends and is rather dark.

Help please!

Tony,

It does look like nielseni doesn't it, and as far as I can see it has a dark area on the frons (top of head) and what I think is a dark hind femora, both of which would fit. However, this is a tricky genus with many similar-looking species, so unles you can get confirmation from someone else I think you'd need to keep a specimen. If confirmed it would be a first Berkshire record Cool as far as I can tell from the recording scheme website:

If I were you guys, I'd check out Eupeodes lapponicus first (nowadays often called Lapposyrphus lapponicus). GrinGrin
The R4+5 vein looks strongly bend to me!

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
