UK-Hoverflies exists to enable anyone with an interest in hoverflies in Britain and Ireland to communicate with other people interested in the subject.

The scope of this egroup is anything to do with hoverflies in Britain and Ireland, although discussion on other groups of flies is fine too. Topics could include: identification, distribution, requests for info e.g. "where can I see...?" or "what can I see in...?", taxonomy, hoverfly communities, habitats, ecology, interactions of hoverflies with other animals.

Information from organisations involved in insect conservation is welcomed.

No adverts please.

Also, please don't post large attachments - these can go in the "Files" section.

Please think carefully before talking about the locations of the very rarest and most threatened species - ask yourself if giving away a location will threaten the species further and err on the side of caution.

Any questions, contact the list manager - Steve.Preddy@blueyonder.co.uk
