It was great to see the hoverfly
Volucella inanis this morning on the Hebe flowers along the railway path. It posed nicely for a photo. Also a couple of
Xanthogramma hoverflies, an
Eristalis hoverfly, a
Myathropa florea hoverfly and lots of
Tree Bumblebees and
Common Carder Bees nearby. A
Mirid Bug of some sort was on a bindweed flower and a
Small Tortoiseshell was nectaring on the Buddleia. Another mystery hoverfly has been causing me a bit of a headache - still trying to ID it. UPDATE: the hover is a
Eumerus species. Definitely a 'first' for Monty!
