Seems to be a general lack of Syrphus about so far. Only had one which was ID'd by Andre as a male S.torvus. Is this Mrs. torvus. Regards Roger Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [143.84Kb] Edited by Roger Thomason on 25-05-2009 21:03 |

Hi Lars Nobody has put their head above the parapet to disagree with your determination, so I assume this is Ms. ribesii. Being politically correct.........  Regards Roger |

I think it is a mrs, since it looks like having laid some eggs somewhere....  |

Ah, but Ms might have been a bit promiscuous. |
