Please could you ID this... if my pics are good enough. The hoverfly has a cute little face which looks like Cheilosia sp to me. Could it be C. caerulescens? I've managed to work out that it's a male! Seen in my garden feeding on tansy in July 2011 Many thanks, Ginks Ginks attached the following image:  [123.83Kb] Edited by Ginks on 08-02-2012 16:17 TTFN, Ginks http://www.flickr...ug-hunter/ |

Certainly looks good for it ... fairly recently added to UK list but already fairly widespread esp in south ... nice one Ginks |
