Baccha elongata? Not a great photo which is a shame as I have never seen it before or since

Volucella zonaria I saw two of these in two days in the 1930s the idea that was possible was about as believable as digital photography! (There were 6 records IIRC in the 1930s). Females lay their eggs in wasp and hornet nests. The larvae live as commensals in nests of bees, hornets and of social wasps of the genus Vespula
