Today's friend, is this cheerful hoverfly! Surely in the Syrphus genus, and likely a female S. ribesii - the common banded hoverfly! I say likely, as there are three main Syrphus species of hoverfly found in the UK that are very hard to distinguish, luckily this lady has a distinctive yellow hind femur or I'd have no hopes of an ID 😊
Their strange slug-like larvae feed on aphids, helping to keep plants healthy, and the adults feed on nectar while helping to pollinate flowers 🥰

Have been trying to get into the habit of posting one bug picture a week to Instagram so I figured I might as well post them here too!
This is one of my fav pics! Oedemera nobilis (false oil beetle) and Oedemera lurida chilling on a flower, two different species of beetles in the same family just vibing
