I am hoping someone can identify this insect. In our house last week. The wife gentle lady she is always removes and puts outside spiders insects etc. when she picked this one up it, gave a shock like a wasp sting but it didnt last. I didnt think it was a mosquito too large. I dont know help please . Just for the record.
I saw this conspicuous insect species in two quite different places in Ghana. This individual is clambering over rocky soil at the side of the road that climbs steeply from Fume to Baikpa in the Volta Region of Ghana. I interpreted the dark-coloured triangular areas as vestigial wings, but I think they're just not yet fully developed on this immature individual.
He is made of odds and ends of beads, scraps of silk organza and bits of wire. The little people in his collection are just wrapped wool tassels.
From the insect family Syrphidae.

Who can tell me about the exact species. The body was slightly less than 1 inch / 2.5 cm.
These insects were on a Common Cats-ear, The photograph was taken in early September in North Kent on chalkland. Please can anyone identify the insects.

Description: These insects live in parks, woodlands, and fields during the warmer months.
