Thought I was finished with Syrphids, but came across this 1 photo of a Syrphid with a very white face and I don't know where to stick it (polite replies only). Maybe Meliscaeva?....auricollis??? OR more likely Eupeodes corollae Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [70.14Kb] Edited by Roger Thomason on 23-12-2008 20:40 |

Thanks Stephane..the one and only sighting in my garden all summer.  Is it possible to say to species level? S.pyrastri or S. selenitica,are the only two on my Checklist.Regards Roger |
