| | | Re: hymenopteran and hoverflies for ID I think the first is a sawfly but wouldn't like to be more specific! The third is Volucella pellucens. |

| | | Re: hymenopteran and hoverflies for ID Evening A,
The first is a Sawfly. The next is a male, albeit perhaps poorly-marked Epistrophe eligans. The fourth is as BH has said, and the last I can't help with - the wing venation doesn't show enough to try getting to family-level.
Take care, Jason |

| | | Re: hymenopteran and hoverflies for ID First looks like a Dolerus sp. The orange bits would probably be a strong clue to specific identity, so trawling the web might be useful if a reference collection is not to hand.
