<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">I am about to beign my first year's PhD experiments examing food chain length and wished to use a plant - aphid - hoverfly - parasitoid system. I have wheat and maize as C3 and C4 plants and am using Sitobion avenae
as my aphid. I am interested in using the hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus and wondered if anyone knew where I might be able to procure a few to begin a culture of them? Any advice would be greatly recieved! Thanks,</font></div>
