Rhingia campestris

Rhingia campestris, m.
Dalgety Bay, Ross Plantation
NT1683
Very common species.

Always one of the most entertaining looking hoverflies the tongue of Rhingia is so long it has to be folded up somewhere. At nearby Cullaloe LNR this species has been recorded feeding on the flowers of almost every flowering plant there.
