3 Gilbert (2015). Hoverflies (Naturalists’ Handbook 5), originally published in 1993 now available as a digital reprint by Pelagic Publishing is available – an excellent beginner’s guide with useful information on how to study them (fits easily into a wide pocket!)
4 Ball and Morris (2015) Britain’s Hoverflies: A Field Guide (2nd Edition). WILD Guides. An excellent book and works as a field guide too (if a lot heavier than Gilbert)! Complements the “bible” which is Stubbs and Falk (2002).
