A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Family - Syrphidae Eristalinus sp.
All golden 8mm fly with darkly outlined segments
Sub tropical areas, breeds in stagnant water
Not a very good photo but important because this fly was well out of its normal territory. At the same time as we experienced a record wet summer and saw many other instances of invaders from the tropical north. Commonly around Brisbane 2000km north.
