Hello, I found these little chaps and chap ette's yesterday,in a meadow,farm,wooded area of the West Sussex downs. I'll have a go at recalling some sizes, 1. 11-12mm 2. 13 mm 3. 15mm 4. 11-13mm 5. 8-9mm 6. 14-15mm 7. 11-12mm A few weeks ago,taking pictures of insects was just something for me to do one day when there were'nt many birds about. Now im actively seeking them out ! and they've been added to the list of things that im looking for when out and about. Taking pictures of things is a great way to learn i think. As always,thankyou to anyone taking the time to look or help,it is really appreciated  regards |

Nikita 3,6, Eristalis arbustorum? 5, My guess is Coenosini, Muscidae 7, Hymenoptera, but not Symphita. It is within Apoidea. Edited by Xespok on 23-07-2006 20:15 |

1. Eriothrix rufomaculata - about the commonest tachinid in England right now - seen atop any flowers like ragwort, hogweed etc. Presumed parasitoids of Crambus moth larvae. 2. Coremacera cf. marginata - a snail-killing fly Edited by ChrisR on 23-07-2006 23:08 |

And finally the request to put pictures that are obviously of very different species in different threads. That increases the overview and makes it easier to refer to the pictures.

And I do insist that 5 is Anthomyiidae(?), but not Coenosia. Nikita
