Pipiza lugubris ♀ today on Ivy (Hedera helix) in Bengeo garden, nationally scarce with distinctive dark wing clouds.
109th species of hoverfly recorded here. @flygirlnhm.bsky.social
Interesting find! Just to be devil's advocate here this is an example of biosecurity not working? If it's only been found in garden centres? I doubt it will have much impact. However, could displace native species? This is the same mechanism how other invasive species have escaped into the wild.
