Incidentally, your namesake has been illusive to me this summer. I have seen plenty but failed miserably to snap a pic of one.

Evening Cord,
The red/black fly is probably Eriothrix rufomaculata, very common now and seems to love Ragwort!
Take care, Jason  |

C. | It's been a pretty good year for Gatekeepers in my area (Cardiff), with good numbers in most of my local patches. The image I'm using for my avatar was the best pic that I obtained of the species this year.
All the best,
Gatekeeper |

The black and red fly is the Tachinid Eriothrix rufomaculata - could I have the record details for the Tachind Recording Scheme please.
Thanks
