Dear Ximo<br>
<br>
I'm not aware of any direct publication on hoverfly predation by
other invertebrates. There might be occasional notes in the
entomological press in GB - Ent Rec, Ent Gaz or EMM - I am some way
though extracting/cataloguing those papers but don't recall any
offhand. There will be a tiny amount of data in the HRS dataset with
references particularly to spiders and perhaps a few to Ectemnius
wasps stocking their brood chambers. It is a data extraction job
that needs doing - maybe I will have a go sometime but as it stands
it is on the 'to do' list!<br>
<br>
In terms of vertebrates, there also seem to be very few records -
occasionally we see photos of birds with a hoverfly prey, but again,
nothing substantial that I know of.<br>
<br>
Not sure this helps much in your timeframes!<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>
Roger<br>

are syrphids as a group. In other words, I am looking for
publications that I can refer to that show that syrphids
are common prey of predaceous arthropods.<o:p></o:p></p>
