Two-banded Wasp Hoverfly Chrysotoxum bicinctum


The first time I identified this species it was from this photo alone.

Again I failed to catch this one, photographed in the same place as the last, but it seems to be safely identified from photos.

I did manage to pot this one, but I hadn't needed to as it was identifiable from the photos I took beforehand.
