Hoverfly - Syritta pipiens

Hoverfly - Syritta pipiens (Syritta pipiens)

Taken back at the end of July this year 2018 with the hoverfly sat on the flowers of Alchemilla mollis - 'Ladies mantle'
I seem to remember thinking I had paid a small fortune for a couple of these plants from a garden centre a number of years ago only to find that they seed themselves for a pastime ! I now regularly dig up and bin lots of seedlings. Typical eh !
