Syrphid Fly

Lejota aerea (Loew, 1872). Thanks to Kevin Moran for providing the species determination on bugguide. Found at Rocky Run Fishery Area in south central Wisconsin. Columbia County, Wisconsin, USA.

 

This fly was hanging around a fallen tree in an oak woodland. It seemed to have a couple of favorite spots where it would land on the tree.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
