Is it a hoverfly? Is it a Boeing 747? Certainly, the biggest, and noisiest one I have ever seen. Landing gear down on an Anemone whose span at the widest petal distance, was just 3 ½”.

Lovely walk! Thank you for sharing it!

We have some (large) hoverflies over here too, though they’re somewhat uncommon.  Yours is a “Hornet Hoverfly” (Volucella zonaria).

Here’s a variation found in our neck of the woods (Midwest, US)…

I’ll be waiting for your next walk!
