TOOTH-THIGHED HOVERFLY Tropidia scita (m)

 

·         The Tooth-thighed Hoverfly Tropidia scita is one of the more straightforward British fly species to identify because of the eponymous feature clearly visible in the second photograph. Whether this projection has any biological function is open to speculation. The vicinity of reedbeds is the preferred habitat.
