Index of Subjects Hi Angus, bugsters Some hoverflies like the alien Eristalis tenax are highly variable. At one point I found this site with pictures very helpful for IDs, if you don't know it already: http://www.canacoll.org/Diptera/Staff/Skevington/Syrphidae/speciespages.htm Typo: your Merodon equestris is missing the middle 'e' in the picture's legend. There's another very good, similar site for eastern deerflies, of which there are 20-odd, but I can't find it immediately to include here. Also tricky to ID. Great pictures.
