He visited Clattinger Farm and Lower Moor Farm, Blakehill Farm and Langford Lakes, and identified in total 467 diptera specimens covering 75 species. Unsurprisingly the most species rich family was the Syrphidae, comprising 40 species, representing 53.3% of the total. Among the rarer species found are the tanypezid fly Tanypeza longimana, the fruit fly Oxyna nebulosa, the soldier flies Oxycera morrisii and Beris fuscipes, the ptychopterid crane fly Ptychoptera longicauda and the hover flies Volucella inflata and Epistrophe diaphana. O. nebulosa (RDB3) and T. longimana (RDB2) are red data book species.10aTanypeza10aTanypeza longimana1 aLindstrom, Matthias  uhttps://micropezids.myspecies.info/node/111
