Hoverflies with a P1000


Insects Hoverflies, Butterflies, Olive's flowers and something the birds planted! Identification is my best guess with some investigation, flowers are Olive's job but don't hold you breath!

Marmalade Hoverfly

















Syrphus ribesii is a very common Holarctic species of hoverfly. Its larvae feed on aphids. In common with many other species of hoverfly, males have the eyes meeting on the top of the head, whilst females have their eyes widely separated.

I'm assuming this is a Common Wasp, apparently not but still unknown



Best attempt is, Grass Moth (Crambus perlella) 



Looked big enough for Large White Butterfly











Posted for identification, planted by birds









Obviously a Poppy and likely from a wild seed mix
