It was so warm today Narcissus flies came to mind.

I'm not at all confident I would spot a narcissus fly.  I don't suppose anyone could manage to catch one and photograph it before dispatching it?

Mark has photos. He's posted them somewhere on here before.

 http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=4297.0    Lesser Narcissus fly

Thanks Maggi, but I don't feel any more confident.  The large narcissus fly looks so like a bee that I'm not sure I could distinguish it.  The small narcissus fly looks like a small nondescript fly.  Apparently the sound they make in flight is very distinctive and easily recognised once you've heard it - but I never have.  I have never yet found a bulb with a narcissus fly larva in it so I don't even know if it is a problem in these parts.  Perhaps I need a recording of the sound they make rather than a photograph?

A few weeks ago I found two swift moth larvae in a pot and put them in a small tub intending to take photographs later.  They 'ran' round and round the base of the tub and when they met one would try to take a bite out of the other so the result was that they fought each other to death in under an hour.  For all I know they would be equally aggressive towards other competitors like narcissus fly larvae and so I only suffer from the one form of larvae and not both.

 Somewhere in all those links is another link... to a recording of the sound... I think it is on Hagens website.... I'll check later for theexact location if you don't find it first.....

A report of your travels would indeed be good to have, Ru, thank you! We are hungry here for pictures  to show us all sorts of wildflowers  in nature.
