Downland Bee-fly (Villa cingulata) at Lower Woods, #Gloucestershire #UK, back in June. This species was thought to be extinct in the UK until about 20 years ago, and now seems to be making a comeback. It's a parasitoid, but the host is presently unknown - possibly Noctuid moths. This is a female, collecting dust to coat the eggs in.

A couple of Thick-headed Flies #Conopidae - Waisted Bee-grabber (Physocephala rufipes), and a pair of mating Ferruginous Bee-grabbers (Sicus ferrugineus) - both species are parasites of bumblebees, pouncing on them and injecting eggs inside them.

A new #hoverfly for me - Orange-belted Plumehorn (Volucella inflata). Apparently associated with sap wounds, and there was a sap wound on a nearby tree. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

Nematodes, from a pest insect that they had been breeding inside. While gory, #nematodes are a #biocontrol option for various invertebrate pests. Various species are available commercially, and can be effective against a range of species. They can be particularly good against insect pests with a soil-living life stage, such as #VineWeevil (and other weevils!), some #Sawflies, root maggots and other #Diptera larvae, etc. #LoadsaTodes

Any Dipterists know what this might be? Collected in the Sierra Nevada foothills (California), roughly 1000' elevation. #Entomology #Diptera

Pleased to finally find a leaf mine! Agromyzidae are a family of tiny flies whose larva make these sorts of fun mins in leaf tissues. My sense is that they've had a late start this year generally - probably another thing smacked hard by the insane heat of 2022. #flies #diptera #WildlifeRecording

Thank God It's #FlydayFriday! These tiny little gold-and-black flies were surprisingly fearless, letting me get up close to photograph them. They are apparently leaf-miner flies (family Agromyzidae), a family I didn't know existed…but that goes for most fly families.
