Volucella zonaria female. May I ask you if there were many
Vespa crabro nests nearby? I usually find these females near hornets. Yesterday, for example, I captured one just beneath a small nest.

Hi Valerio,
thanks a lot for your id.
I didn't see any hornest nests around, but next time I see a female Volucella zonaria, I'll keep an eye out for Vespa's.
Regards,
David
