Hornet Hoverfly (Volucella zonaria) female on a bramble flower at Bath City Farm, #Bath #Somerset #UK.
This harmless Hornet mimic has expanded its range over the past few decades, and a study has strongly linked this expansion to #climatechange.

Some kind of drone fly I'd guess, taking a break from the wind.

Pale Saddled Leucozona (Leucozona glaucia) at Brown's Folly near #Bath #Somerset #UK.
There has recently been a north-west shift in its range, probably due to #climatechange.
