Hi!

I tried taking this through the keys for Botanophila and came up with Botanophila odontogaster which now appears to be B. varicolor according to Fauna Europaea.

Only one shot but it shows a lot! 11th April, my garden near Lincoln UK.

This is starting to look like Delia radicum!

I did it from photos Joke, I thought it was Botanophila because of the shape of the frons so I only looked at the keys for that. Then I started to see it was like Delia radicum which I know I have!
