Hello all,
As we now have Roger on WAB, who is a National recorder for flies in the family Syrphidae and is looking for new records please post any Syrphid pics on this thread.
If you are not certain you have a syrphid, don't worry if you get it wrong. As a useful guide, take a look at these two sites for reference so you have a better idea.
Diptera.info has Diptera experts from around the world who are usually qualified in their particular field. It is run by Paul Beuk who himself is an Entomologist.
Diptera.info - Photo Albums: Syrphidae
There is a list of Hoveflies (syrphid flies) on the UK site with some pics as well as distribution maps and other info.
