Getting an ID for this Syrphus would complete my Hoverflies for 2008. Thanks to all who have spared the time for the past 3months + to ID my posts. .Regards Roger Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [170.81Kb] |

Syrphus torvus or vitripennis, female. Closer ID not possible. |

If it was early spring/end winter, chances for torvus grow  |

Take the earliest Syrphus specimens that come up after the winter and you have the best chance, between relatively lower cases of ribesii and vitripennis. |
