Hoverfly Volucella zonaria

This wasp look-alike insect is completely harmless. Seen here displaying its unique mouth-piece superbly adapted for nectaring at flowers and plants. Noticed its tongue stretched almost the entire length of its body in order to reach for the nectar deep inside the interior of the flower. In human term, if you got such a long apparatus you probably have the benefit of sucking your friend's soup (sitting 2 tables away) dry before he even had noticed.

I wonder how and where he stored his lengthy apparatus.

Epistrophe eligans (it has no common English name) is the commonest Epistrophe species, widely distributed across the UK. It flies from late March onwards, typically first being seen at blackthorn blossom. The female (pictured) is particularly attractive, having a shiny bronze thorax with golden hairs and an elegant pattern of two gold bars (one split) on her abdomen.
