Someone, somewhere, will probably be able to identify these two insects I saw today!
Thanks to James Emerson for a very prompt ID of both.
A beetle on a Yellow Flag flower behind the dunes at Old Hunstanton.
A Garden Chafer Phyllopertha horticola with an almost black thorax.
A pair of flies on a bramble flower at Ringstead Downs.
A Thick-headed Fly Sicus ferrugineus - an endoparasite of bumble bees
The beetle is a Garden Chafer and the fly is Sicus ferrugineus.
