  I can't see that well enough I'm afraid. 
  Is that it on the edge of the pot?

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  Tricky with the blurry pics, first one an orange bodied fly maybe? http://www.eastlondonnature.co.uk/2010/10/orange-bodied-fly/ 

  Is second pic the same insect? Looks like might be a bee fly if not?

  Thanks @Jellyfire. Looks like it was the first one. Quite fat round the abdomen. It was the same in both pics, I'm just not good with a camera 😊
