| Episyrphus balteatus (Marmalade Fly) |
I gather this is a common
Hoverfly in the UK. The twin stripes (one large, one small) make identification relatively straight forward. This tiny insect was sucking nectar in a white Pelargonium in the garden this morning. I gather it eats aphids ... there are a lot of Blackfly on the nearby nasturtiums!

wow, what a colourful hoverfly! I saw a lot of different hoverflies today but certainly have never seen one of those!
