The attached photos were photographed on 01/08/06 in South East England.

I thought they may be male and female of the same species as they were together in a small area. However they did not appear interested in each other.:o

Thankyou

Gordon

Hi Gordon,

No, these are for the Syrphidae section.
The female is Chrysogaster solstitialis
The male is an Orthonevra

For the experts

Thankyou Theo.

One of these days I will get the hang of the family ID at least. :(

Is someone able to move this thred for me to the Syrphidae section please.

Thanks

Gordon
