No, rather a Scatophagidae

Hmm, Pherbellia perhaps? Not Scathophagidae, I'd say (must be the wine again).

I swear, I did not open another bottle, Mr. Beuk! But, indeed, the fly is also very small. My daughter collected this afternoon a lot of Scatophaga's..I guess for that reason I am just thinking about dungflies.

Phew!, am I glad to hear this! After just a few months of serious multi-family endeavours from zero knowledge, how could I say I disagreed, so I said nothing. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help that you guys provide - I wonder how you can make the time, frankly, but please continue to try. The rate at which submissions arrive makes it obvious that you suceed in increasing the thirst for knowledge and the importance of recording. On which subject, perhaps others in UK could answer this; when I submit records gained on this site to National Biodiversity Gateway at the end of the year, will they be accepted at face value against the name of the person giving the identity by photographic evidence? Has anyone had experience of this? |

Yes, this is Pherbellia. I can't see, but if prescutellar acr. absent and head with a long frontal stripe, this is Pherbellia cinerella.

Has anyone had experience of this? Just bumbled across this while searching for something else. I recently sent these off to the Hoverfly Recording Scheme http://www.dipter...d_id=31271 http://www.dipter...d_id=31375 I later received an email from our local guy at Shetland Natural Heritage to say that they (HRS) are unsure that they are E.similis. He intended to get Steve Falk to run an eye over the photo's. That was in August last year, no word on the outcome as yet. I would have thought that others on this site would have picked up on it if Andre had been wrong in his determination. I looked on the HRS a short time ago and they are still being displayed in their Gallery as E.similis. I also informed the HRS that there were photo's of a Tachinid and a Tabanid among the Hoverflies. They are still there.....maybe they don't know the difference. Such is life... Regards Roger. EDIT; SORRY TO BRING UP AN EMBARRASSING POST RUUD...YOU MUST LEARN TO USE THE DELETE
