(148/365) Episyrphus balteatus, sometimes called the Marmalade hoverfly. I found this little beauty in the outdoor plant display at Mallow Co-op store. Wishing all my Flickr friends a very HFDF & have a great weekend!

Taken in the early morning at Priddy Mineries on the Mendip hills in Somerset.

Another new one to add to the list.

Best viewed very large.
