  • According to Stephen Falks, "A large, long-winged relative of Melanostoma, with very distinctive abdominal markings in both sexes (which are patterned rather differently to one-another as in Melanostoma). This is a strongly migratory species that may be starting to overwinter in Britain judging by some recent spring records, but with the British population clearly reinforced by immigration. The adults are most typically encountered at woodland edge and in scrubby habitats. The larvae are predators of semi-gregarious micro-moths on shrubs and certain herbs."

  • B. chalybata is our most widespread and common Beris species. It is one of two dark-bodied species with pale legs lacking any blackish areas on the femorae and tibiae. Females tend to have clean orange legs; those of the males tend to be a dusky orange and may appear dark in certain lights. B. morrisii by contrast is larger, with paler yellow legs and a brighter green thorax.<br />
<br />
B. chalybata occurs in a wide range of habitats, but perhaps especially woodland and other areas with trees and shrubs. It can tolerate quite urbansed settings.

  • Sphaerophoria scripta_Shetland_0765.jpg
  • “This species overwinters as an adult, emerging and mating in the spring. The larvae feed principally on birch, but may also be found on hazel and aspen; the new generation is complete by August. Common and widespread in mixed birch woodlands across Britain and Ireland. A frequent visitor to light traps.”
