Swamplover in the sun

Today the Asters outside Z's office were buzzing with hoverflies, bees and the odd bumblebee.

This is probably Helophilus (=swamp lover) pendulus.

Last night Uppsala had the first proper frost for the season, so the lawns were a bit crispy this morning. But, as you can see, we had a lovely sunny day after that!
