The Common Hover Fly has black and yellow striped abdomen and looks a bit like a wasp. They are often seen hovering near flowers. They feed on nectar and help to pollinate the flowers.

Hi Rachael. I don't know if you are in facebook but, if you are, you might want to look into this little group that Christiane has started. https://www.facebook.com/groups/39480621...
Please delete this comment when you have read it or I will later. Thanks.
Thanks Argy and Leanne. I am definitely ready for spring right now - mostly because I'm sick of the cold but also because there doesn't seem to be any bugs around to take photos of ;-)
Fantastic shots Rachael. I absolutely love Hover flies :)
Excellent set of pics Rachael. Well done. Let's hope these guys bring spring.
