Found this one passing the time of day with a P.manicatus in my garden this afternoon. Is it E.similis? Not on my checklist if it is.

Nice find Roger. Wil you be sending the record into the Hoverfly Recording Scheme? I think this would prove to be a very interesting record in the UK .http://www.hoverfly.org.uk/portal.php Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |

Thanks for confirming Andre Hi Nigel, funny you should mention it, but I've just emailed Stuart Ball a few minutes ago. Seems this is a bit of a rarity in the UK according to the HRS Website; http://www.hoverf...c.php?t=92 http://www.hoverf...p;id=10955 Imaging a pair of them turning up in the only garden in Shetland that the owner is interested in flies....what are the odds? Might have to buy a Lottery Ticket this week for the first time...odds are about the same or even less for hitting the Jackpot I would think. Regards Roger Edit. Might even get a red dot on the map..

Yes I looked at the HRS map before I posted to you the suggestion. A very nice new record. There are probably good numbers about, but thinly spread so that only the chosen few get to see them
