I believe T. fera is out a lot earlier in the summer, I don't know if they stick about this late. <br /><br />Plus there may be more species with the same abdominal patterning.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01952785807539603397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-73500841600327408812011-08-16T21:17:09.731+01:002011-08-16T21:17:09.731+01:00Swine, swine, swine!

A showy Bullfinch isn't something I come across very often, you certainly made the most of it :-)Alan Paveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286527051679271536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-44314301398645398062011-08-16T11:40:19.220+01:002011-08-16T11:40:19.220+01:00I'd love to find one of them BH's Greenie,...I'd love to find one of them BH's Greenie, not much chance here though :-)Warren Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042798315431561018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-57186318605940537132011-08-15T23:35:00.348+01:002011-08-15T23:35:00.348+01:00Like the 22-spot Lady, Greenie - haven't spott...Like the 22-spot Lady, Greenie - haven't spotted one yet. <br />Also like the Medlars - they've got one of those in the garden up at Brading Roman Villa. Never tried eating one (they have to be near-rotten to be at their best, I gather?) <br />I'd concur on that bristly fellow being a Tachinid. Discovered today there are around 260 species recorded in UK, and there is a Lottery-funded recording scheme. Apparently some are exploited for pest control.
