Hi Maeve,

How amazing! This is a very rare species and has probably not been photographed in the field before. Would you allow me to use this image with attribution to illustrate a guide to Sericomyia species to be freely available at https://sites.google.com/view/flyguide ? Thank you so much!

Best wishes, Even Dankowicz

Thank you and feel free! Not
Thank you and feel free! Not sure if you've seen the posting or not, but I had a second individual, this one a male, in my neighboring county nectaring on the same species of plant: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1798179
You're more than welcome to use that one as well if it will be of any help to you. All I ask is that you give me a heads up when it's done so I can check it out! :)
