Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Epistrophe eligans? (Cambs. UK)

Hi All

Another from my recent jaunts.
On the edge of a small mixed copse, by the side of a river.
First I thought that this might be a Eristalis, but I suddenly realised that there was no loop in the wing vein.

This looks very similar to the image in Ball & Morris (albeit an image of a female) and some of Steven Falk's image show some variation that I think could encompass this one?

Could someone please confirm or set me straight?

​Thanks, Gareth

Hi,

Epistrophe eligans (female and male) is unmistakeable.
