I was lucky. These three were within a few leaves of each other just resting in the sun. Thank you 🙂

Is that unusual?

This bush seems to be ideally located for insects as it is in the open sun, and I think they were all just warming themselves. There was also a fly and a bumblebee, but they would not keep still long enough to snap them.

I’m guessing the middle one is Eristalis tenax, because we have them down here!
The other two I am clueless. Can you put me out of my misery?
Smashing photos, Pete.

Cheers, Ark! 🙂 Yes, bang on with the Drone Fly (Eristalis tenax). The top one is a German Wasp, and the bottom one a female Red Mason Bee (Osmia bicornis), I believe.
