Yeah, don't worry - if you haven't come across Phasia hemiptera before you would be forgiven for thinking that they were hovers. If you look at the wing veins though you'll see that they look more like a house fly than a hover fly ;) I saw males and females yesterday - the males look magnificent - very impressive :) Keep your eyes peeled for Ectophasia crassipennis or Phasia aurigera too - they might be hitting our shores any time soon ;)

Would also be nice to have the full data for the scheme, if you have it :)
