| This seems to
be an uncommon Hoverfly in Nottinghamshire and indeed,
there are no records listed on the NBN Atlas. The seeming
lack of county records of Cheilosia scutellata,
may just be due to it being a relatively dull and less
easily identified species, receiveing little attention
from local naturalists. However, there are records from
Attenborough NR, Budby South Forest and Sherwood Forest
CP, but the most recent is from the Idle Valley NR, where
it was found and photographed by Pauline Bradford in
August 2018. Our thanks go to Pauline for allowing us to
use her photographs. |
