Hoverfly: Rhingia campestris

By Richard Burkmar
Spacer
The only other hoverfly that Rhingia campestris can be confuse with is the similar (but much less common) R. rostrata. They can be separated by looking at the sides of their abdomens which in R. campestris are marked with black, but in R. rostrata are entirely orange.
