| | | Hover flies for ID please
Hello
Attached a few taken this weekend, have taken a stab at identifying the first 2 as Syrpus Ribesii female? The 3rd pic might be an Episyrphus, haven't a clue with the pics 4 & 5. I didn't notice until viewed in photoshop the it's got one large antenna type thing! Is this it's normal appendage or has it lost one?! 
Many thanks

Afternoon Jane,
The bee, 4+5, is probably a Lasioglossum species.
Take care, Jason  |

The bee has a yellow labrum, that should make it Lasioglossum calceatum male.
