Hi,

It seems there has been some lumping of M. compositarum and M. labiatarum, does anyone know if this has been settled for certain?

I keyed this and it seems to fit Melangyna labiatarum. It was feeding on Ground Elder along the side of the roadside drain at the front of my garden, under the shelter of trees and with nearby woods. 7th June, near Lincoln UK.
