Info A 3x magnification of Sphegina montana which is a very rare and tiny (2-3mm) Syrphid fly on Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris). This picture offers both - a detailed image of the Syrphid and a very detailed/magnified image of the Marsh Marigold stems. If you Google around you will find out that there are only 2 pictures of this Syrphid available in the whole internet, thats because its so rare. P.S. this animal lives in a swamp.

Comment Very good indeed. As you know the exact species, why not create a category for it and add the picture to it? --MichaelMaggs 16:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tried here but it didnt work that it is displayed in the syrphidae category--Richard Bartz 17:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a species cat for you. It's not linked via a full taxonomic tree as Wikispecies does not list this species, and I don't know enough to do it otherwise, but better than nothing. --MichaelMaggs 06:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Now that it is categorized to species level ;) --MichaelMaggs 06:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
