| 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. |
