You can see for the file name, I had a go at identifying the
hoverfly. Because, it is common (over 100 records) it is important to
ID properly.

Location: lower Adur valley, Sussex, mainly Shoreham

Habitats: towns and gardens and wild places nearby, mostly dry to
damp (not wet so far). Not in very wild areas.

Dates: April, but other times of the year as well, April to October,
but maybe some missing months.

The images are not works of art, but maybe OK for IDs?
