Volucella inanis

 

9th September 2008 - A fairly spectacular hoverfly landed briefly in the garden at Frog End while Helen and I were out there. It turned out to be Volucella inanis. Sadly I didn't get a photo so although it took my total up to 52 species I only have photos of 51 of them.
The photo is by Ray Hamblett

    Hello

    It would be very interesting to have full details of your record of Volucella inanis for the Hoverfly Recording Scheme - if it is from the Wirral then it is especially interesting.

    See www.hoverfly.org.uk and go to maps

    Regards

    Regrettably - from the recording point of view - it was in South Devon. SX 951 937
