Hoverfly (Eristalis intricarius)
Hello All!
It is time for my annual rant!
Dandelions are a very early and important source of nutrition for our pollinators. In fact, one year I spotted a Ruby-throated Hummingbird nectaring on a dandelion! So please think twice about ridding your property of them. After all, weeds are only misplaced flowers!
Enough of my rant .... This is the first Hoverfly that I've spotted this year. Now with spring into full bloom, I'm sure there will be lots of bugs and bees to photograph!
Have a fantastic day! Thank you for stopping by and leaving comments. I do love hearing from you!
