I have never observed yet this fly in the garden thus I don't know it is a rare or common sp. Whether rare or not, I think the pattern of the fly is very conspicuous indeed. Can anyone give me some indications? Thank you in advance! eguzki attached the following image:  [94.81Kb] |

Hello, I can't answer you. My thin knowledge is too fresh. Pierre Duhem |

Alan Stubbs' key to the British species separates luniger and corollae by the amount of yellow at the margins of the abdomen - in corollae the yellow lunules continue all the way to the lateral margins of the abdomen, with at least 50% of each segment edge yellow, in luniger the yellow lunules do not usually spread across to the edge (or if they do it is no more than 25% yellow), there is usually a narrow black strip all along the edge of the segments. But there are several other species in the genus as well, so you can't assume that all black-edged Eupeodes are luniger. Martin Edited by kitenet on 09-11-2006 17:43 Martin Harvey |
