Snouted syrphid - Eurimyia stipata
Horse Hill Nature Reserve, Merrimack, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
August 26, 2020
Size: 1-1.2 cm
I'm sore that this was the best shot I was able to get of this insect, because as I tried to move around to photograph a dorsal perspective, it up and left. The fly had been basking very briefly on up-turned lily pads in a stretch of drying shoreline of Long Pond at the Horse Hill Nature Reserve. Unfortunately I had to wade in to get even this photo, but the insect was very alert and flighty and fled from me twice. After this shot I never saw it again.

We are at present still placi
We are at present still placing this in Lejops lineatus but DNA studies now suggest this is a different species - Eurimyia stipata has been resurrected.
Eurimyia lineata is suggested for some of the more northern specimens.
