Hi,

I found this under the edge of a fallen Oak leaf. Size I don't remember but had to be at least 8mm.

Location: near Lincoln UK.

Date: 8th November.

3 pics.

Thank you atylotus! Smile

I found it under a fallen Oak leaf next to Ivy where I have seen Syrphus ribesii. I think this is a good candidate for that?Grin

as a matter of fact, the first thing that came into my mind was S. ribesii, but later on I read that you have three species in the UK, so I wasn't sure anymore.
