Summary[edit]

Description

I have been corrected, thanx BA!

Eristalis pertinax

Hoverflies come in a surprising variety of sizes, shapes and colours. As insects, they of course have six legs, and their bodies are formed of three main parts - head, thorax (from shoulders to waist) and abdomen (from waist to tail tip). The smallest of the 300 or so British species are barely bigger than a garden ant, and the largest near the size of a hornet. Some are slender, with elongated wasp-waists, and others are as stout as bumble bees. Many are plain black, and a few are pale whitish, grey or buff; but perhaps the majority show what many people would regard as the classic hoverfly colours - black with bright spots or bands of white, yellow, orange or red.
