Hoverfly

This is a very distinctive species with its two yellow bands, the chocolate wing patches and the long, forward pointing antennae. Common in Norfolk apparently

This hoverfly is also known as the 'Marmalade hoverfly' and is widespread throughout the UK and Europe. This one was in our North MK garden.

A kidnapped drone fly hoverfly. I trapped and took home the hoverfly from Highdown gardens. Did some outside "studio" work with it. I then fed it and after a little while it took off to find some shelter.
