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 :)


Thank you Chris for your comments above. What data do you require and I would be happy to provide it?

I have had a look at both of the sites you have links to in your signature and I am very impressed with them (have added them to my favourites for further viewing).
