This insect was in my Suffolk garden today (it was actually on 15th, but I'm keeping holiday posts together). I'm wondering if it might be a solitary bee or a cuckoo wasp (or possibly a kind of fly). We see Ruby-tailed Wasps most years. Please leave a comment if you know ...
Update: thanks to a kind enthusiast on iSpot, it seems it may well be a Tachinid fly, possibly genus Cylindromyia.And further thanks to Conehead54 who tells me in the Comments below that it is 'Eriothrix rufomaculata, which is a parasitoid of various moth larvae.'
