A small cold hoverfly, spotted this hoverfly on my Euphorbia blossoms looking a bit miserable. Persuaded it to walk on to my finger to warm up a bit
I was surprised because dragonfly's wing was such beautiful.
It has some very fine pattern though I did not notice it when dragonfly's photograph is taken.
Orthetrum albistylum speciosum
Have a good weekend !

Sweeping up leaves on the garden path the other day, I spotted this high speed small beetle scurrying around. Went in the house to get a glass and card to trap it with. Spent another 10 minutes trying to find it gain. Eventually trapped it and took it back indoors. Placed it with a begonia flower and various bits of potential food and water under a glass with the hope it would slow down enough for me to photograph it. Fast forward to the next morning when it was still running around at high speed but did spend a little time exploring the flower. I eventually decided I had to try and get some shots before releasing it. Id'd it as Notiophilus biguttatus and beautiful looking beetle with rather large eyes.
A hoverfly in flight around Salvia flowers. I like how the wing hinges are in focus (which was entirely by chance!).
