Hi Laurence , there is a lot of ivy very near where I have seen these flies plus a holly bush. There are some Laurel bushes in nearby gardens but not mine.
Hi Laurence,
I've shot a mating pair of these flies Mar 11th 2007 with a few single shots from Mar 9th to 11th plus another male Sept 19th 2009. All shot in my garden on Rhododendron bushes.
