I get office time on Wednesdays which means I have a flexible lunch break and more time for it too. Today, I walked at a nature reserve close to the office and saw various insects, including this hoverfly Chrysotoxum bicinctum.
@overalvandaan a bit of both... this one I new would be easy to identify so I just googled black hoverfly with yellow bands... usually, I have a rough idea and go from there either flicking through a book or looking at google images.
Do you use google to determine bugs/insects or a book?
