 Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2014 7:34 am Post subject: More hovers from July |
 |
|
The following are all from the garden - Grid ref SD323387 - all but the last two are from 26/07/14, the last two are from 27/07/14 - our garden has been alive with hoverflies this last week or two.
I've added my attempts at ID's
Myathropa florea
Episyrphus balteatus
Sphaerophoria species - bit of a pale abdomen, fungal infection maybe? I saw one similar a couple of days later too.
Syritta pipiens
Syrphus species?
Merodon equestris?
Eristalis species
& from 27th July - Sphaerophoria species
& another Eristalis

Hi Cliff
Useful shots here
The male Sphaerophoria is scripta - a hot weather specimen.
The Syrphus is ribesii - it is a female with completely orange hind femur
The first Eristalis is tenax. I cannot to the other one with certainty.
Good stuff
Thanks
Roger |
