Britain’s Hoverflies: A Field Guide

Of all the creatures exemplifying Batesian mimicry, few are better known to naturalists than hoverflies. Looking for all they’re worth like bees or wasps, these harmless and beautiful little members of the diptera are fascinating subjects of study.

Now, as the revised and updated second edition of Britain’s Hoverflies; A Field Guide: A Field Guide by Stuart Ball and Roger Morris has recently been published by Princeton University Press under their WILDGuides imprint, there is no reason for anyone who has ever seen one of these brilliant little mimics to delay in learning more about them.
