Pretending to be a wasp
Many harmless hoverflies mimic wasps by adopting the familiar yellow and black stripes but few are as spectacular as this one. Xanthogramma pedissequum doesn't have a common name, which is a shame for such a striking insect. This one was found in the parish near to Fosse Park.
The images and records below are all from the parish/ward and have been submitted by members of the public.
