Any help appreciated, I'd like to know where to start if possible! Approximately 6mm long, it was settled on a runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus). I took a few photos in situ but it was difficult to steady the bean in the wind so I picked the pod and sat and photographed it at leisure. The fly totally ignord me, while it continued to perform some strange 'dance' with its legs. SE KENT UK 10/08/2010 Thanks in advance Nick nick smith attached the following image:  [148.88Kb] |

Stratiomyids are pretty easy to spot because they look like a 'funny' hoverfly with a roundish cell in the middle of the wing

Thanks guys, I did think it might be a syrphidea and spent several minutes going through the galleries but couldn't find anything quite right. Nick |
