Platycheirus peltatus (Fabricius, 1794) | ||
Probably more common across Nottinghamshire than the distribution map would suggest and this is largely down to difficulties in identification (as there are many similar species) but also a lack of interest in our Dipterous fauna. Generally found in meadows, woodland rides and clearings etc, the one below, appeared in a Kirkby-in-Ashfield garden, where it was found and photographed by David Shaw in August 2020. | ||
