Species 23 - Myathropa florea

We had good weather for the first time in a while and the local insects duly came out in force. Several new and interesting species (including several Holly Blues). However this cracking Hoverfly grabbed my interest and gets the honour of today's post. They are quite variable, there was another individual around which was quite a bit darker. Still the same species though i think. Hoverflies really are great insects.
