  • 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.

  • (S.Falks quote): One of our three Microchrysa species - small, metallic soldierflies lacking spines on the scutellum. This species is readily distinguished by the all-black antennae and black front femorae.<br />
<br />
M. polita is a widespread and locally common species usually found in the vicinity of shrubs and trees. Habitats used include woodland, gardens, hedgerows and scrubby brownfield sites.<br />
<br />
The larvae develop in various decomposing substances including compost, grass cuttings and dung. The can be identified using Stubbs & Drake (2001). Adults fly from March until October, which is probably the longest flight period for a British soldierfly. Both sexes to rest on shrub or tree foliage and females sometimes congregate around compost heaps and compost heaps.
