My wife and I recently had the privelege of viisting Antigua - my first time in the Caribbean. The biodiversity was superb. I tried to largely ignore the flies as clearly identification was likely to prove very difficult. I did however photograph three for which I also retained specimens. This hoverfly (c 15mm long) is the first of these and I think it might perhaps be Palpada vinetorum. I apprecaite that it is asking a lot but wonder if any of the spevcialists might be able to confirm or refute this tentative identification. Many thanks Alan Alan Outen attached the following image:  [291.47Kb] Edited by Alan Outen on 28-11-2017 13:54 |
