Large Bee Mimics Hoverflies ID please.
nomad
I took these Hoverfly images at the weekend in England UK. The first two images are from lowland meadows, the last three from a forest. There seems to be an array of various forms among some of the species. I believe the last is a female Volucella bombylans form plumata?
