1 Flower-Insect Timed Count: insect groups identification guide This guide has been developed to support the Flower-Insect Timed Count survey (FIT Count) that forms part of the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS). Who is organising this project? The FIT Count is part of the Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS) within the UK Pollinator Monitoring and Research Partnership, co-ordinated by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH). It is jointly funded by Defra, the Welsh and Scottish Governments, JNCC and project partners, including CEH, the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Butterfly Conservation, British Trust for Ornithology, Hymettus, the University of Reading and University of Leeds. PoMS aims to provide much-needed data on the state of the UK s insect pollinators, especially wild bees and hoverflies, and the role they fulfil in supporting farming and wildlife. For further information about PoMS go to: Defra project BE0125/ NEC06214: Establishing a UK Pollinator Monitoring and Research Partnership Document version 3.0 at February 2018
2 Bee or wasp (Hymenoptera)? 1 Honey Bee (family Apidae, species Apis mellifera) Photo Bob Peterson/Wikimedia Commons A social wasp (family Vespidae, genus Vespula) Photo Trounce/Wikimedia Commons most bees are more hairy than wasps at rest, wings are rolled up for some wasps (not all) wings held flat female bees have a pollen basket, usually on the hind legs or under the abdomen FIT count category: Honey bee less obviously hairy, and often with very contrasting colours FIT count category: Wasp
3 Bee or wasp (Hymenoptera)? 2 There are a number of small and dark species in both groups A solitary wasp (family Crabronidae, genus Crossocerus) Photo gailhampshire/flickr CC A small solitary bee (family Apidae, genus Lasioglossum) Photo Dick Belgers/Wikimedia Commons often (not always) has at least a hint of stripes on abdomen head often bulkier and more rectangular than for bees some obvious hairs should be visible female bees have a pollen basket, usually on the hind legs or under the abdomen FIT count category: Solitary bee FIT count category: Wasp no obvious hairs, no pollen basket
4 Recognising Honey bees (Hymenoptera) Honey Bee (family Apidae, species Apis mellifera) Photo Bob Peterson/Wikimedia Commons Very long and narrow marginal cell Eyes are hairy (hard to see in the field) Honey Bee (family Apidae, species Apis mellifera) Photo Martin Harvey Abdomen colour varies from fairly bright orangestriped to nearly all black Hind tibia and first tarsal segment very broad and flattened (in workers) Antennae may be elbowed FIT count category: Honey bee Pollen is moistened and collected in the basket on the hind tibia
5 Bumblebee or solitary bee (Hymenoptera)? A bumblebee (family Apidae, genus Bombus) Photo Martin Harvey antennae often angled or elbowed A solitary bee (family Andrenidae, genus Andrena) Photo Martin Harvey antennae more likely to point straight out Bumblebees: Very hairy / fluffy Rounded, almost globular in shape, often have tail tucked under when visiting flowers Many have simple, contrasting colour bands Queens are larger than nearly all solitary species, but workers can be smaller than the larger solitaries FIT count category: Bumblebee Solitary bees: Usually hairy, but usually less densely covered in hairs than bumblebees Usually more elongate in shape (but lots of variety, see next sheet) Colours usually more subdued and less contrasting than bumblebees Smaller than queen bumblebees, but the largest solitaries are bigger than small worker bumblebees FIT count category: Solitary bee
6 Genus Andrena (family Andrenidae) contains many species of mining bee. Many are a mix of brown and black, but there are other patterns such as black and ashy grey. Solitary bee examples (Hymenoptera) There are many species of solitary bee in a range of families Genus Lasioglossum (family Halictidae) also contains many species of mining bee. Most are smaller, darker and less hairy than Andrena. Some are very small! (but larger than 3mm long) Andrena haemorrhoa Photo Martin Harvey Photos Mike Edwards Andrena cineraria Photo Aiwok/Wikimedia Commons Family Megachilidae contains mason bees (genus Osmia) and leafcutter bees (genus Megachile). Females in this family have pollen collecting hairs underneath the abdomen. FIT count category: Solitary bee A leaf-cutter bee (genus Megachile) Photo Derrick Ditchburn/Wikimedia Commons
7 Hairy-footed Flower-bee (Hymenoptera) A solitary bee that is active in early spring and summer. It is often confused with bumblebees but has a much faster flight, and hovers in front of flowers. females are all-black with orange hairs on hind legs Hairy-footed Flower-bee (family Anthophoridae, species Anthophora plumipes) female. Photo Charlesjsharp/Wikimedia FIT count category: Solitary bee males are brown or ginger, with pale markings and pale hairs on the face, and very long hairs on the legs Hairy-footed Flower-bee (family Anthophoridae, species Anthophora plumipes) male.

8 Ichneumon wasps (Hymenoptera) Sometimes called ichneumon flies but these are wasps and should be counted as wasps An ichneumon wasp (family Ichneumonidae) Photo Katya/Wikimedia Commons overall shape usually long and narrow in proportions An ichneumon wasp (family Ichneumonidae) Photo Hectonichus/Wikimedia Commons antennae are long with many small segments females may have an obvious ovipositor at the tip of the abdomen FIT count category: Wasp antennae are long with many small segments
9 Sawfly or wasp (Hymenoptera)? There are many different sawflies of differing sizes and colours they are not true flies, and are related to bees and wasps in the Hymenoptera, but note that we are counting sawflies in the Other category Sawfly (family Tenthredinidae, species Tenthredo temula) Photo gailhampshire/flickr CC A social wasp (family Vespidae, genus Vespula) Photo Trounce/Wikimedia Commons no wasp waist where abdomen joins thorax not hairy, no pollen basket narrow wasp waist between thorax and abdomen usually slowermoving and with weaker flight than bees or wasps FIT count category: Other FIT count category: Wasp
10 Drone Fly (species Eristalis tenax) Photo Martin Harvey Hoverfly (Diptera: Syrphidae) or bee/wasp (Hymenoptera)? Honey Bee (family Apidae, species Apis mellifera) Photo Ken Thomas/Wikimedia Commons large eyes covering most of the head; shorter antennae with 3 segments eyes on sides of head, not covering it all; longer antennae with 12 or 13 segments Hoverflies have: just one pair of wings fast hovering flight (most species) no pollen basket A hoverfly (species Sericomyia silentis) Photo Martin Harvey FIT count category: Hoverfly Bees and wasps have: two pairs of wings (but this can be very hard to see on live insects) slower flight, not hovering (except in a few species) female bees have a pollen basket FIT count categories: Honey bee / Bumblebee / Solitary bee / Wasp A social wasp (family Vespidae, genus Vespula) Photo Trounce/Wikimedia Commons
11 Recognising hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) A hoverfly (species Platycheirus angustatus) Photo Janet Graham Hoverflies are: usually shiny or reflective (not always) usually black with yellow or other pale markings on the body and/or legs (not always) have veins parallel to the trailing edge of the wing, forming a false margin have a vena spuria in the middle of the wing (hard to see in the field) are not obviously bristly antennae usually short - some have longer antennae but still shorter than most bees, and with fewer segments A hoverfly (species Chrysotoxum festivum) Photo Martin Harvey FIT count category: Hoverfly vena spuria false margin veins
12 Typical black and yellow striped hoverfly (left: Epistrophe grossulariae; right: Episyrphus balteatus). Hoverfly examples (Diptera: Syrphidae) There are many species of hoverfly with a range of shapes and patterns Rhingia campestris is a non-typical hoverfly and a common flower visitor note the long snout (CC photo via Pexels) Photos Martin Harvey Tribe Bacchini (Melanostoma and Platycheirus) contains small species that are longer/ thinner than typical hoverflies. Most have spots but can seem very dark in the field. Syritta pipiens is a small, common species that does not look like a typical hoverfly, but readily hovers and has characteristic leg markings, and grey sides to the thorax. Left: Melanostoma scalare Photo Martin Cooper/Flickr CC; right: Platycheirus albimanus Photo Martin Harvey FIT count category: Hoverfly Photo Martin Cooper/Flickr CC
13 Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) mimicking bees (Hymenoptera) Some hoverflies are very good bee mimics Drone Fly Eristalis tenax Photos Martin Harvey FIT count category: Hoverfly shorter antennae, few segments Honey Bee Apis mellifera Photo Ken Thomas/Wikimedia Commons longer antennae, 12 or 13 segments Drone Fly loop in wing vein relatively large eyes, closer together relatively small eyes, wider apart FIT count category: Honey bee compare antennae and eyes FIT count category: Hoverfly Volucella bombylans Photo Anne Sorbes/Wikimedia Commons Bombus terrestris Photo Martin Harvey FIT count category: Bumblebee
14 Other flies (Diptera) There are many other families of fly that you may see all you need to do is separate hoverflies from the rest! A dance fly Empis tessellata Photo James K. Lindsey/Wikimedia Commons Calypterate flies rounded body, very bristly on body and legs: Yellow Dung-fly Scathophaga stercoraria Photo Olaf Leillinger/Wikimedia Commons long proboscis Greenbottle Lucilia sp. Photo Juan Emilio/Wikimedia Commons Broad Centurion soldierfly Chloromyia formosa Photo Martin Harvey broad body, wing venation different from hoverflies, moves slowly, doesn t hover FIT count category: Other fly Tachina fera Photo Luc Viatour/Wikimedia Commons
15 Small insects There are a number of very small (3mm or less) insects that may occur on flowers, including pollen beetles, which can be very abundant. Please provide an estimate of how many small insects you see in total on the target flower, but there is no need to identify the group (so DO NOT count pollen beetles in the Beetles category) small parasitic wasp pollen beetles This is a small solitary bee, but all bees are bigger than 3mm and should be counted as bees! (This one has collected pollen on its hind legs, which is a good clue that it is a bee.) aphid Photo Martin Harvey FIT count category: Small insects Photo Martin Harvey FIT count category: Solitary bee Photo Alvesgaspar/Wikimedia Commons
16 Beetle (Coleoptera) or true bug (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)? A leaf beetle (family Chrysomelidae, species Gastrophysa polygoni) Juniper Shieldbug (family Acanthosomatidae, species Cyphostethus tristriatus) beetles have chewing mouthparts with jaws (mandibles), not a rostrum Photos Martin Harvey scutellum hard wing cases (elytra), often shiny wings are part hard or leathery, and part clear membrane wing cases join with a straight line down middle of insect FIT count category: Beetle bugs have a long, narrow rostrum, usually held pointing back under the head wings and scutellum form an X shape on back FIT count category: Other
