"content": "A large hoverfly, likely - and I'm very happy to be corrected - a Volucella zonaria (Hornet mimic hoverfly), feeding on a blooming pink thistle flower. The insect’s reddish-brown thorax, large reddish compound eyes, and clear wings with dark margins are clearly visible. It’s perched on a vibrant thistle head with unopened buds nearby. <br />\nShot at Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside Wildlife Trust Brockholes in Samlesbury, near Preston, UK.<br />\n<a
