The city giant (Volucella zonaria), also known as the horned hoverfly, is an insect of the hoverfly family. It is a large hoverfly that is very important for pollination. On this picture you see the individual pollen (pollen grain) on the hairs on the legs.
Put the right nectar plants in your garden and the most beautiful insects will pass by. Butterflies, bees, hoverflies and so on.
