Hoverfly Newsletter 34
HOVERFLY NUMBER 34 NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2002 ISSN 1358-5029 Long-standing readers of this newsletter may wonder what has happened to the lists of references to recent hoverfly literature that used to appear regularly in these pages. Graham Rotheray compiled these when he was editor and for some time afterwards, and more recently they have been provided by Kenn Watt. For some time Kenn trawled for someone else to take over this task from him, but nobody volunteered. Kenn continued to produce the lists, but now no longer has access to the source that provided him with the references. I therefore now make a plea for someone else to agree to take over this role, ideally producing a list of recent literature for each edition of this newsletter (i.e. twice per year), or if that is not possible, for each alternate edition. Failing a reply to this plea, has anyone any suggestions for a reliable source of references to which I could get access in order to compile the list myself? Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 35 (which is expected to be issued in February 2003) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, Email [email protected], to reach me by 20 December.

This is the sixth aphid prey record for any species of syrphid genus Chrysotoxum and the very first from a tropical country for a separate species, baphyrum, other than those aphids given for Chrysotoxum arcuatum (L.), Chrysotoxum intermedium Walker and Chrysotoxum shirakii Matsumura from Scotland, Italy and Japan, respectively. In the present study, sugarcane root aphid, T. javensis is also being reported for the first time from Karnataka State. Key words : Syrphid aphid prey, Chrysotoxum baphyrum, sugarcane root aphid, India INTRODUCTION sugarcane plants revealed the presence of syrphid larvae. So far, no prey has been recorded for any species of The predator and prey were brought and reared in the the genus Chrysotoxum Meigen (more than 70 species) Laboratory at the Department of Entomology, University anywhere in the world where its species fly, i.e., in of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad.

The closing date more or less coincided with the publication of the second volume of the new Swedish hoverfly book. Nigel Jones, who had already submitted his review of volume 1, rapidly provided a further one for the second volume. In order to avoid delay I have kept the reviews separate rather than attempting to merge them. Articles and illustrations (including colour images) for the next newsletter are always welcome.

Please note the earlier than usual date which has been changed to fit in with the new bulletin closing dates. although we have not been able to attain the levels Hoverfly Recording Scheme reached in the 1980s. update December 2009 There have been a few notable changes as some of the old Stuart Ball guard such as Eileen Thorpe and Austin Brackenbury 255 Eastfield Road, Peterborough, PE1 4BH, [email protected] have reduced their activity and a number of newcomers Roger Morris have arrived.

(Diptera, Syrphidae) of Ballyannan Wood: 2003-2006 Survey Results Tom Gittings, County Nature Trust
Hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) of Ballyannan Wood: 2003-2006 survey results Tom Gittings, County Nature Trust 1 INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of hoverfly surveys carried out as part of the Ballyannan Wood Nature Reserve Project. 2 METHODS I carried out the surveys by Malaise trapping and hand-netting. I used three Malaise traps in 2003 and two in 2004 and 2005. The Malaise trap locations are shown on Figure 1. Because of the level of public access to the wood, these locations were in the middle of dense thickets of Brambles. The locations are all in clearings, and the traps were positioned so that they were exposed to uninterrupted sunlight for most of the day. I operated the Malaise traps from 1 June-31 October 2003, 28 March-18 October 2004 and 26 March-28 October 2005. I carried out systematic hand-netting surveys on 25 dates (see Table 1). These surveys were carried out in good weather conditions, typically lasted 90-180 minutes and involved searching the main rides and other open areas for hoverfly activity. My coverage of different sections of the wood varied between surveys reflecting changes in distribution of hoverfly activity. Most of my surveys focused on the eastern block of the wood, with less coverage of the western arm reflecting the lower hoverfly activity in that section. In addition to these surveys, I also made casual records of interesting hoverfly species on various other dates. Table 1.

Pollinator Portraits 2017 Portraits De Pollinisateurs 2017
Pollinator Portraits 2017 Photos: © Martin C D Speight Text: Martin C D Speight This guide has been assembled by the National Biodiversity Data Centre Pollinator portraits 2017 These portraits are not of bees, but of flies – European hoverflies, to be precise. In the landscape, hoverflies are small and can flit by unobserved. In the portraits we see them larger than life and can examine them at leisure. You are invited to send the portraits to friends and colleagues. Not so well known as bees, hoverflies play their own, and slightly different role in pollination. They are significant pollinators of various fruit trees and some other crops, like oil-seed rape. They also pollinate many wild flowers, including rare species not normally visited by bees. Hoverflies can be found in a very wide range of terrestrial and freshwater habitats. As larvae about a third of them feed on greenfly, other plant bugs, or small caterpillars and are recognised as helping to prevent epidemic greenfly infestations in cereal crops like winter wheat. Another equally large group of species is plant-feeding; these hoverflies mine leaves, stem- bases, rhizomes, tubers, bulbs or corms of herb layer plants. The rest of them grow up on a diet of bacteria, algae or other micro-organisms, usually in water or damp situations of some sort. Almost without exception, as adults hoverflies feed on nectar and pollen, visiting the flowers of a very wide range of trees, shrubs and herb layer plants, including pollen-only flowers like those of grasses, sedges, oak trees and poppies. The names of the hoverflies depicted in each portrait, along with brief notes, are included at the end of this document. -
