Hi All Came across this medium sized hoverfly in a small copse by a river. The lunate shaped markings suggested Eupodes, Scaeva or Dasysyrphus. Bare eyes and black hairs along t3 and t4 are apparently diagnostic - Eupeodes. Looking through Ball & Morris, I couldn't find one with suitable abdomen markings but in Steven Falk's galleries he has some female E. luniger with lunate markings. Could someone take a look and confirm, or put me straight please? Yours, Gareth |
