I believe the first image may be a Cheilosa species. Savernake Forest, Wiltshire, England. July 2016 How about the second image, is it a Hoverfly, there seems to be a Vena spuria? Found in the same locality at the same time. Perhaps another Diptera family?   |

I believe after studying my field guide that the bottom image is certainly Cheilosa variabilis?

Hi, nomad wrote: I believe are studying my field guide that the bottom image is certainly Cheilosa variabilis? I was about to write that already yesterday, but then the date (July) discouraged me. Here in northwest Germany this species flies in late April/early May.

Hi Jurgen It has been a very late Spring in Britain and in the large old forest, species are known to appear there late. Best Wishes Peter. |
