Hello

I found this lovely hoverfly in Wales, UK on 28/08/10

and it seems to be a male of Melanostroma I think scalare (long abdomen)

I would be grateful if someone could confirm this for me

Thanks

Elisabeth

Second: Check that there are no spaces in the file name. If there are any, attachment will fail.

No still not working

I take it that the photos are seen in the preview, is it necessary to press something else before browse, size of photo is OK too
Where's an IT expert when you need one? I can't think of anything else that may help
