I am completely lost with this one, unable even to say which genus it belongs to. Any help would be much appreciated. Taken in Bambury, Oxfordshire, in a garden. August 21rst 2010. Piluca_Alvarez attached the following image:  [48.27Kb] Edited by Piluca_Alvarez on 07-11-2010 15:52 |

This looks like Platycheirus albimanus, female. Wait for Andre or Gerard to confirm but I think it is correct. Janet http://cubits.org... |
