Rhingia
campestris  |
||
| With a prominent snout and largely orange (and distinctive) abdomen, hoverflies belonging to the genus Rhingia are one of the most easily recognised. However, they can very easily be misidentified as house flies at first glance, when not familiar with hoverfly identification. One of the commonest in the area is Rhingia campestris, which differs from the similar R. rostrata by having a black line down either side of the abdomen. The one pictured was one of many on the wing during early May 2006, at Lound Wood and Eakring Meadows. | ||
