The Gossamer Hoverfly Baccha
elongata is a distinctive fly with a ‘wasp
waist’ strongly tapered abdomen that in the case of the gravid female
illustrated above was more bulbous as it was laden with eggs. The behaviour of
this hoverfly is surreptitious and although common it may need to be looked for
as it hovers close to the vegetation of woodland margins and often disappears
under leaves.
