Syrphids are beginning to be more and more noticeable, which makes me happy as they are one of my favourite dipteran groups. I've added two more species to our list of FWG Syrphids this year, and have another which I am just waiting ID confirmation on. I've already had one expert look at my photo and he agrees it is probably Melanostoma, but I'm waiting for additional confirmation. The other two new species are Syrphus sp. and Platycheirus sp. The Syrphus was found about 3 weeks ago, the other two yesterday. Today, there was also an Helophilus as well as a Syritta. Also found were some of the indigo blue larvae of the Goldenrod beetle on, where else, goldenrod.
