WHAT IS THAT INSECT?

The collection of pictures below can be used to help identify what insect you have come into contact with:

 

Bumblebees – Larger than the honeybee and other bees, always furry, the common ones usually have tails that are either white, red, buff or brown and some have yellow bands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honeybee and solitary bees – Smaller than bumblebees, they can vary in colour from all-black to orange bands – can easily be mistaken for wasps.

 

 

 

 

 

Hoverflies and other flies – They usually have large eyes, have one pair of wings (other insects have two pairs).

 

 

 

Wasps – Most wasps are bright yellow and black banded with yellow on their face and legs.

 

 

Hornet – Normally larger than a wasp and are yellow and brown banded.

 

These pictures are a guide only and if in any doubt, then leave well alone and call professional help.
