Wasp-imitating flies sipping dew off big red unidentified flower in the morning.
Scientifically the flies belong to the family Syrphidae, and commonly called hoverflies or flower flies. The latter is obvious. But I have no idea the genus or species of this particular fly seen here.
I was on my daily walk during lunch break when I passed this interesting insect on a branch along the walking path. Aug 04, 2009 L1040107.dng
I know this is another bee photograph in the same month but I really like bees and I really like lavender and as we have a bush right outside of our back door what's not to like?!!
I invested in a new macro lens a few months ago and have only just really started putting it though its paces. Tecchie spec - it is a Canon 100mm f/2.8. I normally stick to Manual but with a subject that moves so quickly it was difficult to keep changing the shutter speed so I'm finding using the AV setting at about f/4 overcomes this and gives a good bokeh effect with just about enough d.o.f. for the bee. This together with the Al Servio setting allows for the constant refocussing. Although having written that this one was on Manual at f/3.5. I'm still quite a novice but my ultimate goal is to capture a bee in flight - sharp!! (Best viewed large)
I took well over 100 images in just about 20 minutes and posted 6 to Facebook if anyone is interested.

Had a real hard time chasing this little buddy all around my disheveled room.

This "little" guy spent three days scaring the life out us by showing up in various places like the bathroom, above the boy child's bed and popping out from under clothing. Finally, today I got him out of the house. (he is still alive, he was just stunned and after taking these photos he scurried off into the garden.)
