Hoverfly (I think)
Bilbo will be able to confirm the species
Just had our new conservatory built and it seems to be a big hit with the Hoverflies (when the doors/windows are left open). They're not so bad. They're quite bold and tend to sit there glaring at you. At one point, there was 4 in a row on a garden chair all looking at me. I wish I'd taken a shot but I was taking 4 or 5 shots of one so that I can focus stack them later. By the time I was done with that, 2 of the others had got bored and flown off
This was sat on the back of an old faded garden chair. This one was about 8mm in length and they eyes about 1mm each
Looks better expanded of course
