Flaming June ?

Any progress made to increase insect numbers here in the recent warm spell of weather has been dashed as a cold wind is now blowing down from the Arctic and insect numbers have again plummeted. I found this hoverfly out yesterday but it was the only one of its kind and in fact, just about the only insect I saw all day. This hoverfly is chrysotoxum bicinctum. It has distinctive brown patches on each wing but it has no common name.
