This may look superficially like a Hoverfly, but it is actually a mid-sized Blowfly; a migrant, usually originating from Africa that visits Michaelmas daisies, umbellifers and other flowers. This species predates on locust eggs and is occasionally seen in Britain during late-summer and autumn. The banded eyes are very distinctive. Males have reddish eyes.
