Fannia canicularis (Linnaeus, 1761)
Commonly referred to as the Lesser House Fly, this abundant species probably occurs in almost every house in the county. Known for circling in the centre of rooms, this fly is well known to everybody by sight, but is very rarely recorded by anyone other than those with an interest in Nottinghamshire's Dipterous fauna.
