\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Jochen M\u00f6hr sends a photograph, obtained in Metchosin of a flutter fly <\/strong>yesterday:<\/p>\n

Flutter fly T<\/em>oxonevra muliebris <\/em>(Dip.:\u00a0 Pallopteridae)\u00a0 Jochen M\u00f6hr<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The genus is sometimes spelled Toxoneura<\/em>, and the fly has also been listed in the genus Palloptera<\/em>, but the currently preferred scientific name and spelling are as given in the caption under the photograph.\u00a0\u00a0 This is a European species only recently recognized in British Columbia.\u00a0 The history and list of records in British Columbia are given in Cannings and Gibson JESBC <\/em>116, <\/strong>64-68 (2009).\u00a0 The first British Columbia record was in 2016. To the list in Cannings and Gibson, we can add one more (in addition to the record here), namely one was photographed in Metchosin, also by Jochen, 2019 July 26, shown on this Invertebrate Alert Website for that date.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cheryl Hoyle sends photographs of two flies from View Royal, August 30.\u00a0 Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 I cannot be 100 percent sure of their identifications, but I believe there is a fairly high probability that I have labelled them correctly.<\/p>\n

Anthrax <\/em>sp. (Dip.: Bombyliidae)\u00a0 Cheryl Hoyle<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cheryl\u00a0 shows that ripe figs can be a good attractant for moths and other insects.\u00a0 We identify only the largest moth in each photograph.<\/p>\n

Noctua pronuba <\/em>(Lep.: Noctuidae)\u00a0 Cheryl Hoyle<\/p>\n

Catocala <\/em>(probably aholibah<\/em>) (Lep.: Erebidae \u2013 Erebinae)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cheryl Hoyle<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Here are more photographs by Ian Cooper \u2013 taken in the middle of the night.\u00a0\u00a0 The first is a nematoceran fly \u2013 possibly but not certainly a chironomid.\u00a0 If any viewer can help, please let us know.<\/p>\n
