Hi Jorgen
Well I've had 1 vote for Tenthredinidae Dolerinae, and 1 going further to Dolerus sp. coming out of Belgium. I only have 1 species on my Checklist which is Nematus ribesii and this doesn't match up to that one. So that would make this an unrecorded species for Shetland Smile....another one.
Regards Roger

Hello, Roger!

It is Dolerus sp.. There were hundreds of them here in the last few weeks. The completely black species (about 20 of them here in Germany, presumably less on the Shetlands) cannot be identified after photos. The larvae feed on grasses.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hi Juergen
Thanks for the confirmation...nice photo's too. I didn't get a chance to get close enough to my one to get good pics, but did get some good ones last year, so this species might be residents now. Not much insect life here yet as there is a cold strong easterly wind, so the ones I do see I can't get focussed on properly Frown. Roll on summer.
Regards Roger

We had a perfect spring and easter this year here in Germany Grin, temperatures between 21 and 26 °C in the last two weeks (today is has become somewhat colder, only 16-17 °C, but still mostly sunny). Many records for earlyness in insect life 2009... Wink
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hi Juergen
About 8C here today with 20+Kts wind to lessen it even more. The only thing I could photograph that wasn't on terra firma was a Large LPG Tanker with a Tug going up the Sound en route to the Oil Terminal at Sullom Voe. No point posting those photo's here though, Can't disguise one of them as a fly...Smile..painted bright orange.
