Description
Hoverfly
Volucella bombylans
Although these brightly-coloured insects look like bees or wasps, they are in fact true flies and do not sting. Hoverflies are excellent examples of Batesian mimicry (named after H W Bates who first described it in 1862). They generally mimic bees and wasps

Glad it's between march and november :) Fantastic work, the unskilled eye would have thought of a wasp here but fortunately you know better!
