Who's this. He's actually brown .bad photo.
Garden's full of gatekeepers - might it be one?
This chap kept still for me.
Can anyone identify my butterfly/moth?

It's a Southern Hawker, Aeshna cyanea
By the pond this morning
Saw this today, I believe it's a Hornet Mimic Hoverfly (approx. 20mm long).
Hi BF,
Yes, that's the Hornet Mimic Hoverfly Volucella zonaria. Quite impressive by its size but totally inoffensive. Just spotted one in my garden a couple or days ago.
Female common blue on the perovskia
