About 30% of the Ivy in Caerau is about to or yet to open, so hoverfly recording could go on until mid November providing we don't have any frosts. I am still getting double figures in species while previous records for November is a meagre 4 species. A late Xanthandrus comtus was probably my last year tick this year (103). There are still some nice hoverflies about including migrants like Scaeva pyrastri.
Scaeva pyrastri
Sericomyia silentis
There are still plenty of Common Wasp and Honey Bee about as well as the odd Green Shieldbug.
