Brachypalpoides lentus is a European species of hoverflies. [1]
External images Wing length 10–12 mm. The legs are black; tergites 2 and 3, and base of tergite 4 in female, red. Tip of abdomen black. Mimics sawflies. [2] [3] [4] [5] The larva is not described but is included in keys in It is illustrated by Rotheray (1993) [6]
Scandinavia South to the Pyrenees and central Spain. Ireland East through central Europe into European parts of Russia; southern Europe East to Yugoslavia and Greece and into Asia Minor. [7] [8]
A forest species associated with mature trees of Fagus, Picea and Quercus and including evergreen oak forest. [9]
Runs on foliage of bushes of Rubus fruticosus at the edge of forest clearings and on the ground near fallen or felled trees. Flowers visited include umbellifers, Galium, Crataegus, Rubus idaeus, Sorbus aucuparia. [10] Flight period is April to June (and July at higher altitudes).
Myathropa florea, sometimes referred to as the Batman hoverfly, is a very common European and North African species of hoverfly. Adults may be seen on flowers from May to September. It is of a similar size to the common drone fly, but Myathropa are generally more yellow, with two light bands to the thorax, interrupted with a black central smudge. In museum specimens, any yellow colour soon fades to brown after death. Like most species in the tribe Eristalini, Myathropa are rather variable in size, shape and colour.
Dasysyrphus tricinctus is a European species of hoverfly in the genus Dasysyrphus, a member of the family Syrphidae. It is found across Europe, although reported in highest density from the British Isles and Scandinavia. While not uncommon it is generally only seen in modest numbers, typically in lowland woods with peak numbers in late May and early June and again in late August and early September.
