Still no mass hoverfly emergence, the latest date I have for this phenomena is 4th of August. A few species are increasing rapidly like Eristalis pertinax (110), Cheilosia illustrata (15), Sericomyia silentis (13) and Xylota segnis (14). Otherwise new for the year were Syrphus ribesii (finally) and Eristalis intricaria.
So here a few photos of other insects encountered on the weekend.
