| Two examples of Eristalis intricarius are shown in the photographs. The one on the left was photographed during a recent visit to Portland Park at Kirkby-in-Ashfield in July 2006, whilst the right hand photograph shows another colour form of E. intricarius found at Oil Bore Holes in Eakring later the same month. It's a distinctive and variable species and the body is much more furry than other Eristalis species. It is a widespread hoverfly, but often occurring in low numbers where found. It os a frequent visitor to flowers. | ||
