| Most Diptera
(True Flies) are difficult to identify and determination
to species level via photographs is largely impossible.
Tachinids are one of the more popular families, but the
UK's small number of Phryxe represent some of
the most difficult to identify. Phryxe vulgaris
is a parasitic species of numerous Butterflies and Moths
and can fly quite late in the Autumn, but there are few
Nottinghamshire records. The only recent records we know
of, are from Sherwood Heath (Godfrey, A.) in 2003 and Clipstone Old Quarter in
October 2016. |
