    Since moving into our new house we keep finding this kind of insects as you can see in the photo below.
    I am not sure what they are at all but they are really getting annoying now.

    They are not just being found in a certain place but in different places.
    Anyone know what these could be?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Ive looked around the internet but couldn't actually find what it was.
    Do you know of any treatment to kill them off?

      Flowers for beneficial insects, particularly hoverflies.
