Criorhina berberina (f)

This bumblebee-mimic hoverfly is characterised by its long face and a lack of long hairy tufts on the base of the abdomen. Although widespread across England and Wales it's one I rarely see.

 

This one was feeding on hogweed alongside a footpath in Goathland in the North Yorkshire Moors.
