These photographs of
White-barred Peat Hoverflies Sericomyia lappona were taken in Norway where this large and
strikingly marked fly appears to be comparatively common. In the UK, this distinctive
insect is associated with boggy and wet heathland sites, mainly in the north
and west, and the white abdominal stripes enable it to be separated from the
only likely confusion species the (larger) Yellow-barred Peat Hoverfly S. silentis in which the abdominal
bars are (perhaps unsurprisingly) yellow.
