Rhingia campestris
This hoverfly (Rhingia campestris) is a common insect in woodlands and elsewhere. It has an extraordinary projection on it's face which houses it's long proboscis, with which it can feed from deep tubed flowers like bluebells. This has earned it the nickname of the Heineken Fly - after the advertising slogan "reaches the parts other beers cannot reach"
