Topic: hoverfly - Xanthogramma stackelbergi

Apologies if this has been requested before, but I couldn't find a previous mention.

A few iSpot users have posted observations of Xanthogramma stackelbergi, which doesn't seem to be in the UKSI as yet. The species was added to the British list in 2012:
