I quite agree with Cyrtanthus, had dreadful problems here, but also they can 
be a problem on Amaryllis belladonna, fortunately not much of a problem, not 
like on Narcissus in this area of the UK.

I actually managed to take a picture of the Large Bulb Fly adult last year, 
horrible looking thing, have included the link. If someone wants to they can 
upload the image to the wiki somewhere.
