Marmalade Hoverflies on Fox-and-cubs

East Dunbartonshire, Milngavie and Bearsden
Marmalade Hoverflies (Episyrphus balteatus) drinking nectar from Fox-and-Cubs (Pilosella aurantiaca). This is our most common hoverfly. They are on the wing throughout the year but can be seen in large numbers like this in the summer. Fox and Cubs, Orange Hawkbit or Orange Hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca or the synonym Hieracium aurantiacum) is aggregated under Hawkweeds and / or Hawkbits in the genus Pilosella, or alternatively Hieracium agg. The botanical classification seems complicated at the very least! Picture taken by Sarah Longrigg in Milngavie.
