      Default Eristalis inticaria - the furry hoverfly.

      I believe this is my first record of this hoverfly. Eristalis inticaria female.


      According to Nature Spot, this large hoverfly is unlike the other UK Eristalis species in being a furry bumble bee mimic. (The males are dark with a reddish-brown tail) whilst the female (seen here) has a white tail and is somewhat larger.


      Nature Spot also says this species always has a yellow scutellum.








      Paul.

      Thanks to Bilbo_baggin
