| Very
widespread across the whole of the UK, but we know of
relatively few Nottinghamshire records and suspect Platycheirus
manicatus to be an under-recorded Hoverfly. There
are records from both Attenborough NR and Netherfield Ash
Lagoons a few miles up the River Trent, but the records
in the north of the county we know of, have generally
been from deciduous woodlands. It does occur in gardens,
from where Pauline Bradford took the photographs below
were taken by at Langold near Worksop in March 2017. |
