A Curious Fly
1st September 2008, MondayThis rather strange fly was found in the garden at Lime Kiln Cottage yesterday. It is Mintho rufiventris, a nationally notable species whose larvae are internal parasitoids of micro-moth caterpillars. This is a new record for the reserve and RXland, and while there are apparently old records for Sussex it does not seem to have been recorded here recently.
