  • Steven Flaks: "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.”

  • Steven Falk: “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.”

  • (S.Falks quote) 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 />
(S.Falks quote) 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.

  • “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.”

  • Steven Falk: “A brightly banded hoverfly that can be conspicuous on the flowers of umbellifers (especially Angelica) and thistles in woodlands and wetlands in late summer. It often hovers immediately beside such flowers, and may even feed whilst hovering, which is unusual behaviour for syrphids. The robust build and particularly straight and broad yellow bands (which extend fully to the side margins of the abdomen), combined with a rather dull thorax, create a distinctive jizz in the field. The larvae are aphidophagous and have been found on Sycamore foliage in Britain, also on Winter Wheat abroad.”
