New Hoverfly Species - Great Pied Hoverfly (Volucella pellucens)
My attention was drawn to this unusual looking fly with a 'transparent' abdomen segment and attractive wing markings which closer inspection showed was a Hoverfly. Once I had spotted the Vena spuria confirming it was a Hoevrfly it was a fairly quick id using my Ball and Morris Hoverfly book. It is a very common fly but not one I had spotted here before.
