While I was on a break in Cults, Aberdeen recently I took 4 [crap] photos of a fly I spotted in the undergrowth while photographing another fly. Having lightened the pics a bit, I reckon it must be a Lophosia fasciata which doesn't appear anywhere in Scotland on the NBN Atlas. https://species.n...ecordsView Anyone confirm the ID?

Hi Roger, I saw the same fly yesterday and got better pics  . With those antennae, I think there is no alternative to Lophosia fasciata, at least not in Tschorsnig & Herting 1994 (https://www.zobod...1-0170.pdf). I post my pictures in a separate thread.Best wishes, Sundew |

You call those* better pics Sundew? Straight to the recycle bin if they were taken by me [out of focus /reflections etc]... Mine were "record shots" of a fly which turned out to be "not seen in Scotland before"! But seriously, thanks for the confirmation Sundew, much appreciated and I promise not to post "crap" photos again, well... till next time!  Regards Roger |

Yes, that's unmistakably a Lophosia fasciata - nice record!! [just wading through a ton of tachinidae emails that didn't get delivered until now!" Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |
