The hoverfly is Helophilus pendulus – has also been called the “The Footballer” due to its stripy shirt! August 26, 2018 at 11:05 Reply
Thanks Mike, when I saw it I thought, What team does he play for? Very smart little fella or girl. Cheers Mike August 26, 2018 at 20:33 Reply
Mike, right now the Swans should sign him! Perhaps a fourth change strip option! August 28, 2018 at 16:47 Reply

Hoverfly is Helophilus species, very probably H. pendulus.
Thanks Paul I was hoping someone could ID it for me. Cheers Mike
