  • Hoverflies Family: Syrphidae
    Birmingham & Black Country SPECIES ATLAS SERIES Hoverflies Family: Syrphidae Andy Slater Produced by EcoRecord Introduction Hoverflies are members of the Syrphidae family in the very large insect order Diptera ('true flies'). There are around 283 species of hoverfly found in the British Isles, and 176 of these have been recorded in Birmingham and the Black Country. This atlas contains tetrad maps of all of the species recorded in our area based on records held on the EcoRecord database. The records cover the period up to the end of 2019. Myathropa florea Cover image: Chrysotoxum festivum All illustrations and photos by Andy Slater All maps contain Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown Copyright and database right 2020 Hoverflies Hoverflies are amongst the most colourful and charismatic insects that you might spot in your garden. They truly can be considered the gardener’s fiend as not only are they important pollinators but the larva of many species also help to control aphids! Great places to spot hoverflies are in flowery meadows on flowers such as knapweed, buttercup, hogweed or yarrow or in gardens on plants such as Canadian goldenrod, hebe or buddleia. Quite a few species are instantly recognisable while the appearance of some other species might make you doubt that it is even a hoverfly… Mimicry Many hoverfly species are excellent mimics of bees and wasps, imitating not only their colouring, but also often their shape and behaviour. Sometimes they do this to fool the bees and wasps so they can enter their nests to lay their eggs. Most species however are probably trying to fool potential predators into thinking that they are a hazardous species with a sting or foul taste, even though they are in fact harmless and perfectly edible.

  • Asian Hornet – Vespa Velutina
    Report sightings of this species: • Asian Hornet Watch app Scan for more Asian Hornet • online at: https://www2.habitas.org.uk/records/ISI information • iRecord app Species Description Vespa velutina Scientific name: AKA: Yellow-legged Hornet Native to: Asia Habitat: Nests usually high in trees and man-made structures, sometimes closer to the ground; hunts honey bees, other insects and also feeds on fruit and flowers. Dark brown or black velvety body. Characteristically dark abdomen and yellow tipped legs. Introduced to France in 2004 where it has spread rapidly. It has since been recorded a number of occasions in the UK. High possibility of introduction through, for example, soil associated with imported plants, cut flowers, fruit, garden items (furniture, plant pots), freight containers, in vehicles, or in/on untreated timber. The Asian hornet is not present in Northern Ireland but the possibility that it could fly across the Irish Sea has not been ruled out. The Asian hornet is highly aggressive predator of native insects and poses a significant threat to honey bees and other pollinators. Do not disturb an active nest. Members of the public who suspect they have found an Asian Hornet should report it. Under the Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order (Northern Ireland) 2019 it is offence to intentionally keep; breed; transport to, from or within Northern Ireland, use or exchange Asian hornet; or to release it into the environment. David Walker European Hornet Asian Hornet Key ID Features Legs brown with characteristic Entirely dark yellow ends brown or black velvety body Asian Hornet abdomen is almost entirely dark except for 4th abdominal segment Asian hornet “hawking” for honey bee prey Queens up to 30 mm; workers up to 25 mm long Abdomen black / brown, 4th segment yellow / orange David Walker J.

Upon our arrival, we soon completed passport control and baggage reclaim and made our way out to the arrivals area, before making our way to the bus stop for the bus to the car-rental area to collect the minibus. Soon the luggage was stowed, and we boarded the vehicle for the journey to the Vercors region. Serin and Skylark were recorded in the Hertz car park. We drove south-westwards on the A43 and A48 Motorways, stopping for a short comfort break at Aire L’Isle d’Abeau service area, before continuing south towards Grenoble. Along the way, we recorded Rook, Kestrel, Barn Swallow and Green Woodpecker. At Grenoble we left the motorway, continuing through Sassenage, where we turned up onto the Vercors Plateau. Along the way a Song Thrush was seen, as well as Ononis viscosa (Sticky Restharrow) and Saponaria officinalis (Soapwort). It was not long before we arrived in Lans en Vercors and the Hotel Le Val Fleuri, our base for the rest of the tour.
