This one was on flowers in a herbaceous mess alongside the old airport of Chiang Rai - far northern Thailand. It looks rather familiar, but maybe it is not.

I have seen it around in a few other grassy places, it is not uncommon here.

That's what I thought, but I know nothing of Thai species.

Last year we submitted the same species from Chiang Mai. See http://www.dipter...ost_115767 Gerard Pennards kindly identified it as Eristalinus quinquestriatus Edited by ChrisR on 18-08-2010 13:26 |
