Smallish Ichneumon wasp on a water barrel. Focus stacked using zerene

10-12 mm long. Tabanidae subfamily Tabaninae, hovering close to the ground. They stopped biting me long enough for me to get a picture.

Kärrblomflugor (Helophilus) är ett släkte i familjen blomflugor.

Många blomflugor i detta släkte är stora och iögonfallande, upp till 17 millimeter långa. De har en svart grundfärg med artspecifika gula parfläckar på bakkroppen. Behåringen är kort. Många, till exempel alla i Sverige förekommande arter, har tydliga gula eller gråaktiga strimmor på ryggskölden. Längd 9 till 17 millimeter.

These are the only bugs I see these days so I´m getting a lot of practice getting shots of them. This is a 4 shot stack. Very strange this year, usually see lots of springtails at this time, and I have´nt seen one for ages.

Taken at a local park.

I photographed this insect at stretton mill this morning and am unable to determine the species --is anyone able to help ?--a little more study since posting has suggested that it may be a form of the female blue tailed damselfly called rufescens-obsoleta, but I am by no means certain---subsequently confirmed --see below
