Hi, could anyone help identify this insect please, the nearest I've found in the gallery is Syrphidea (Syritta pipiens). I can't see the wing well enought o see if there is a vena spuria but the similarities to Syritta pipiens lead me in that direection Thanks everyone Nick SE UK 09/08/2010 Edited by nick smith on 09-08-2010 22:49 |

Looks like Syritta pipiens to me  It's an incredibly common hoverfly.

I guessed that from the number of photos in the gallery (do you have a cap on the number in the gallery? Is there any merit in submitting others views/angles?) I really must start searching from p 27 and work forwards, it would save me ages! Thanks Chris |
