Hornet mimic hoverfly

Volucella zonaria

Description:

Volucella zonaria, the hornet mimic hoverfly, is a European species of hoverfly

Habitat:

In Great Britain, it was only known from two specimens prior to 1940, so was regarded as rare. Since then, it has become increasingly widespread in many parts of the South and South East England, often in association with parks and gardens, where adults are usually seen visiting flowers. Elsewhere in England, only a few scattered records exist.
