The document itself contains a heat map denoting the model predicted distribution of the
fruitfly Phortica variegata in the UK based on known locations, calculated using a 
"Genetic Algorithm for rule-set prediction" (GARP) model to the resolution of a regular 
0.05° x 0.05° spatial grid (at longitudes from 12°W - 4°E and latitudes from 49°N - 60°N)
following the principles outlined in Otranto et al. 2006.

Coloration is a standard heat map style to indicate the likelihood of P. variegata presence.
High decreasing to low likelihood of P. variegata presence is denoted by red to orange,
yellow, green and blue, respectively.

This is designed as a practical tool for use by dipterists when planning field excursions.
