A distinctive Sarcophagid with darkened wings, but could easily be
mistaken for a Tachinid. There appear to be few recent Nottinghamshire
records and information on the habitat preferred by Nyctia halterata
is difficult to find. Based purely on the location the one below was
found, it may well prefer well vegetated sites close to water, as the
one pictured was found in a small sheltered meadow at King's Mill
Hospital in July 2020. In the UK, it appears to be fairly widespread
across the southern-half of the UK. |
