Another UK specimen for the attention of those who know more than I do.  Location: SJ491852, suburban front garden Date: 2012-09-15 Ambient conditions: Bright sunshine, warm, humid. Numerous Lepidoptera nectaring on adjacent Buddleias during the photography of this specimen. A quick check of the Syrphidae images here suggests that Sphaerophoria scripta is a possible ID for this specimen, but of course, I'm aware that there are people who know more than I do, who may well be thinking "oh dear".  Needless to say, I'll be very pleased if I have alighted upon the right ID myself for this! Calilasseia attached the following image:  [55.51Kb] Edited by Calilasseia on 17-09-2012 00:17 |

Find a male and you'll have more chance...females can't really be done to species. Ian |

Not even by dissection? Is the group that difficult? |
