Megasyrphus erraticus - a photo on Flickriver

Megasyrphus erraticus

            A Nationally Scarce hoverfly and one thats been on my target list since I got the hoverfly book.

The conifer woodlands of upland Northumberland are a stronghold for these, after several weeks of searching there had clearly been a mass emergence at Harwood as my regular walking route this year had around 50 where none had been a week earlier.  The rest of the 6 mile walk there were none.

Significantly bigger than the Syrphus species but smaller than Sericomyia silentis.
