It's Flyday again, hope it's a good day and weekend for you all! HFDF ;0) Watched this (Myathropa florea) Batman hoverfly grooming itself for sometime! It looked pretty dapper to me before never mind after!
They are sitting by the computer--which, coincidentally, has proximity to the kitchen (where the food happens).
The painting on the wall is one I did of Orson, who was one of our "California" cats. He would have gotten along with these two swimmingly.

There isn't a decent Batman movie title to go with my reflective shot so no point trying!
Doesn't happens often that I witnessed a Cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) spreading his wings under the early morning sun. Usually I find them hanging quite low in the grass with their wings closed like a hiding batman.
With the harsh back light it was quite challenging getting the exposure right so I used a fill flash to extract some extra detail.
'Batman Mountain' - Vesturhorn, South East Iceland. Shrouded by the soft glow of aurora.
A fantastic, menacing silhouette..
Batman: Ahem... I'm B..
Sindy: Why hello there little fella', aren't you the cutest thing in a pair of boots!
Batman: I'm Batman.
Sindy: Aww, a little bat man. I see the widdle ears. Do come in.
Batman: Hmpf! They warned me about this place. I should have listened and stayed in the cave.
Sindy: Nonsense! I'm Sindy. Are you here to stay, I can't help but notice your knapsack? Have a seat dearie and I'll make you a cuppa.
Batman: (Thinking) "At least they serve drinks. Better blend in with the locals." - Thanks.

I have a Batman!!
He's a MEGO action figure, released in the 1970s, but was based on the appearance of the 1966 TV version of the character. (Thanks Dave and Dal for the info)
A marvel of engineering for its time, the John Batman Bridge was completed in 1968.
"It was the first cable-stayed bridge in Australia and among the first such bridges in the world. The main span is 206 metres (676 ft) long, suspended from a 91-metre-high (299 ft) steel A-frame tower. The deck is 10.3 metres (34 ft) wide. The tower is on the west bank of the Tamar river, on a solid dolerite rock base which carries 78% of the weight of the main span. The length of the bridge is 432 metres (1,417 ft) between abutments. The east bank is soft clay not capable of supporting a bridge. A causeway carries the highway across this softer base, supported by four piers built on piles driven up to 18 metres (59 ft) into the clay. The bridge deck is constructed of steel."
A hoverfly in Point Defiance Dahlia Trial Garden in Tacoma, Washington. I believe this is a Myathropa florea, also known as the Batman hoverfly, for hopefully obvious reasons!
This is another MOC that I created exclusively for Blocks Magazine . You can find it in issue #18 together with a more detailed description and really fantastic Batman-vs.-Superman-MOCs from other builders.
In my opinion, they take the whole Superman and Batman theme too serious, therefore I wanted to build something lighthearted.
After being tired of fighting in Metropolis, Bruce and Clark continue to do so in Smallville, until they damage Kent’s barn and Martha Kent puts an end to the fight.
She allows the “boys” to settle their differences in a one-on-one game.
Myathropa florea is a common hoverfly, often seen visiting hogweed umbels and other flowers between May and October. It is also known as the Dead Head Fly or the Batman Hoverfly because of the distinctive markings on the thorax. It is closely related to the Drone Fly and the Helophilus species as Myathropa florea's rat-tailed larva live in rotten wood and water filled holes in trees!
now is it a battercream butman or buttercream batman...depends on your sugar levels i guess.
Buttercream body with fondant face, logo and toolbelt. Handpainted logo and batman figure (not the cape) is dusted with a black lustre. Apologies for the poor photo, taken at night. Well this is it for the real cakes for a couple of days - food show time phew!
