Poor weather halts hoverfly emergence

 The weather has been cloudy with occasional rain and even less sunshine, so hoverfly recording has been difficult over the last few days, with only 25 species recorded over 3 short visits around the valley. A couple of photos of the more colourful observations as well as other insects are below.
