Empis
stercorea (Linnaeus, 1761)  |
||
| Identifiable (if seen well) by the single black stripe running down the thorax, Empis stercorea is still similar to other species at a glance. Small and discreet Empid, it is usually found on low vegetation and frequently at the flowers of Umbellifers. The only site we have recorded it from so far, is single area of the Sherwood Forest CP, where it favours more shady, slightly damper conditions. | ||
