Orange. Marmalade Hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus, on Papaver rhoeas, Common Poppy, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
It rained and then it poured and then rained some more upon the parched Hortus Botanicus and also on Olympholder's head. A bit of light and we admired a Common Papaver almost succumbing to the rain as Poppies tend to do.
Looking more closely, we espied Marmalade Hoverflies licking up pollen from the just opening anthers.
