This was a first for me too. I'm chuffed to have now seen both eggs and larvae. Thanks to Davr for looking for it and finding it. I always forget to look!

Very happy to find my first ever Parasyrphus nigritarsus eggs and larvae in Green Dock Beetle egg batches yesterday during the wildlife group's trip to the Bicton area. This hoverfly predates the eggs of various leaf beetles, laying its own eggs (the smaller, white ones) within their egg batches.
