I think this is Eupeodes luniger (according to what I find in the Rotheray).

Thanks Pierre Up here it is more likely to be E.corollae I think, very common species although a migrant. E.luniger is regarded as a vagrant, with only two sightings, the last being September 1995. Regards Roger |

I've seen 3 all year....where are they???? We have no Local population...all migrants from UK and Norway according to the bumph I have...are there any being seen there?? Regards Roger PS; I put this in the wrong Forum, should have been in Diptera ( eggs, larvae and pupae) not Syrphidae...oops. Edited by Roger Thomason on 16-07-2009 01:59 |
