Hi. This looks different to the normal one I have, Thereva nobilitata. It seems to key to Thereva inornata, I have two other photos from the same day but at a different time which looks to be the same. 14th July in my garden, south of Lincoln UK.

You must have had some strong northerly winds, as inornata is a rarity of the Scottish Highlands.  It's also a more grey species, if you have a look in the gallery. nobilitata is most likely. Ian |

Ian There's photos of T. inornata in the gallery looks very much like mine, so how reliable is the colour? http://www.dipter...oto_id=950 http://www.dipter...oto_id=951 There is a record not very far north of me, and one further south. http://data.nbn.o...0000007930 As I have had other very rare diptera which shouldn't be here, I view anything as possible! Ferdinandea ruficornis is one I had last year and it's supposed to be only around the New Forest for the last few decades. I have also had Cheilosia uviformis 99% certain identified by Martin Speight, and Greenomyia mongolica, I think my record is only about the 8th, along with a few other rarities. Never say never. However, I guess T. nobilitata is more likely.

Hold your horses. It is a male. You'd really need to check the genitalia. The rest is pure speculation. Theo |
