Dark-winged Black
Pachygaster atra
(Panzer, [1798])  |
||
| This is an unobtrusive, but common species across much of Nottinghamshire. The continued lack of recording effort into our Dipterous fauna, is probably the only reason stopping Pachygaster atra from being more widespread. Photographed at Colwick CP in June 2020, the larvae are known to live in dead wood and decaying vegetation. | ||
