"Like birds hovering, so the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it; he will spare and rescue it.”
"Double-striped" is just my own description - I don't know exactly what kind of hover fly this is, but the genus is 'helophilus'. I love the vertical stripes on the thorax, which is distinctive to the genus.

On our last morning at the Arenal Observatory Lodge, our guide Charlie saw this female Green Thorntail in the restaurant garden. She hovered for quite a while, allowing me to get a good view of her.

wierd compound eye on this hover fly, not sure if it is supposed to look like that or was deformed when it enmerged.

Yep, another kite shot.
This shows him dropping fast to his next, lower viewpoint as he spills air from his wings. (In the previous photo he was hovering on a slight breeze whilst spotting his target.) After two or three of these rapid descents he's close enough to fall on his prey. They have a very high 'hit' rate.

A little something different for Febrovery, here are some simple hovercraft-style rovers, that I affectionately termed Hover Pods. I'm not sure these fall strictly within the Febrovery guidelines for rovers, but thought everyone might enjoy them anyway. So....enjoy!!!
