These
Crimson-belted Hoverfly Brachypalpoides lentus photographs
were taken at an ancient woodland site in Scotland where there was a strong
population of this impressive insect. The larvae are saproxylic. Although
the adults are honeydew feeders, there was clear evidence that they were also feeding
on pollen.
