Hello Francis Gilbert, My name is Gregory Sanford and I live in the states "NY" and Iam interested in rearing Eristalis and was wondering if you could send me pdfs on the following papers?
I would very much appreciate it.

hi Pierre
Nice to hear from you. And it's great that you are rearing hoverflies.
I am not sure what you mean by 'raise' because there are two ways. By far the easiest is to get eggs from field-collected females, or larvae from the field, and rear them through to adults.
A completely different matter is to get reared adults to mate in captivity and then to get a second generation from eggs. Thus many genera are 'difficult' because adults do not mate in captivity, or at least never have when it has been tried.
Some species are 'difficult' because the larva has an obligate diapause which must be undergone or broken in order for pupation to take place. Gradually these species have mostly been reared because techniques for keeping the larvae over the winter are reasonably good now.
The only equipment for rearing larvae are small dishes and (for predators) available aphids. For getting adults to mate in captivity you need cages of a reasonable size (say, 60 x 60 x 60 cms) and adequate lighting.
Have you got Graham Rotheray's book on hoverfly larvae? That will give you most if not all of the information you need to rear larvae through to the adults. There is no clear guide to rearing several generations of syrphids, especially non-aphidophagous species, but I can send you some papers if you would like.

Hello Francis,
I'll probably look a bit stupid but I find that it is possible to raise hoverflies. I am a modest beginning in the study of this group. I have some questions 1) what is the genus are more difficult than others to raise and is what some are impossible to raise ?
2) What equipment do I need ?
Best wishes
Pierre

Hi Folks
can anybody help with temperature threshold info for syphids to allow
day-degrees to be to used to model development time of Eristalis,
Melanostoma and Melangyna species?
Your help would be much appreciated.
