It was pretty frequent on the E. Sussex South Downs when I did my fly, bee, wasp big survey a few years back, and the rare T. amoena turned up at a couple of sites too. NBN is likely to be rather incomplete for this family. But there are plenty of really rare tephritids in Sussex, so keep your eyes open.

_____ From: Adastra [mailto:adastra-boun...@lists.sxbrc.org.uk] On Behalf Of Gordon Jarvis Sent: 16 June 2015 14:42 To: Adastra Subject: [Adastra] Request for data check Charles Yesterday I recorded the fly Trupanea stellata in my garden. Mapmate shows it as 'local' and so I made a quick check on NBN and they do not show any records for this area but I know they are not always up top date so I'd be grateful if you could do a check and let me know if it is common to our area. Thanks Gordon Peasmarsh
