<font size=3>Thanks, Steve. This site has proven to be a disappointment
as the authors (Stephen Marshall et al) promised a Guide to the Hover
Flies of Ontario would be out as of 2010. Also, the web site has had
little added to it since 2007-2008. Thanks for the correction of my
spelling.<br>

Some hoverflies like the alien Eristalis tenax are highly variable.
At&nbsp; <br>
one point I found this site with pictures very helpful for IDs, if
you&nbsp; <br>
don't know it already:<br><br>
http://www.canacoll.org/Diptera/Staff/Skevington/Syrphidae/speciespages.htm<br><br>
Typo: your Merodon equestris is missing the middle 'e' in the&nbsp; 
<br>
picture's legend.<br><br>
There's another very good, similar site for eastern deerflies, of&nbsp;
<br>
which there are 20-odd, but I can't find it immediately to include&nbsp;
<br>
here. Also tricky to ID.<br><br>
Great pictures.<br><br>
