Photo taken near Reading, UK on 2012-07-15.

I think this might be Chrysotoxum verralli. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

From the shape of the black front margins of tergites 2 and 3, this is Chrysotoxum verralli, rather than C. elegans.

Keys mention the colour of hairs on the scutellum, but it's very hard to decide this character from photos.

I have seen C. verralli in new places around Reading this year, usually low down in vegetation.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
