Did I post this already? Well, tough. I 😍 hoverflies, and this beauty has the best name ever: Yellow-haired Sun Fly (Myathropa florea).

Encourage hoverfly in your garden by creating Hoverfly Lagoons for their larvae. Pollinators and bug munchers.

This was a lovely Hoverfly on Native Hogweed recently in Doune area. Might be Epistrophe grossulariae, which is recorded on NBN Atlas Scotland in our area. Has a wide body and a short tail. Also, thorax is a dullish green, and grossulariae in Latin name refers to gooseberries so presumably means gooseberry-green. (The things you learn from posting!!)

A few Hoverflies from last week, before the temperature dropped. Marmalade Hoverfly on Ragwort. You ID a marmalade by the orangey colour and also by the 2 perjink tiny ‘moustaches’ below the thicker horizontal bars. (Perjink is a great Scottish word = very neat, natty.) Also, I think Meliscaeva cinctella on Native Hogweed. (Cinctella means girdled.)

Die Hornissenschwebfliege ( zonaria) ist die größte heimische Schwebfliegenart. Sie erinnert an eine Hornisse. Aktuell kann man sie an Blüten, z. B. am Sommerflieder, finden.

Die Gemeine Waldschwebfliege (Volucella pellucens) ist durch das elfenbeinweiße 2. Hinterleibssegment und die gefiederte Fühlerborste zu identifizieren (pellucens = durchscheinend).
