Hoverfly, Eristalis pertinax. Lullingstone Country Park, 14 October 2011. |
This one is medium-sized. Several hoverflies mimic more dangerous insects, and this has the common name Drone-fly because it resembles a honey-bee. Even though it is not brightly coloured, it looks very elegant in different shades of brown.
I will post some more hoverflies in due course.
