From my back garden, Positive ID would be appreciated, I don't have any insect reference as such but nearest I get from the Internet search is a "Hornet Mimic". Large for better detail.

It is a hoverfly Maurice and indeed a hornet mimic but harmless. I think it is Volucella Zonaria but I am not an expert.

Maeluk has the ID spot on Maurice..........and this is a cracking shot of one. They seem to love Buddleia bushes!
