Chrysotoxum festivum
A stunningly marked hoverfly and although widespread across southern England, is a less than common species, often found on heathland sites and sometimes in gardens. We have recorded this hoverfly from several sites, including Budby South Forest, Warsop Main Pit Top and in a garden at Mapperley Nottingham.
