Creating the next generation (Syrphus Ribesii)

Mating hoverflies syrphus ribesii. The male's eyes join up, whilst hers are widely separated. Useful garden insects as they feed on aphids. These two obligingly posed whilst I tried out my new (second hand) macro lens in the Wildlife Cafe this morning.

 

PS can you see who's hiding...?
