Hovers like a hummingbird. The ends of the wings spread forward and vertically to hold the bird horizontal position. The rest of the wing is used to maintain vertical position.
summer seems to have paused here...a lot cooler, showers, but good to see many bees, bumblebees, hoverlies and a few butterflies still visiting the garden...
textures thanks to Tóta and PaintedWorks.
Another in my series of back porch insects. These are taken at night with mostly my 200mm Nikon micro lens & flash.

A flock of American Robins descended on the holly tree and were stripping it bare of berries. They were eating the easy ones first but as the berries disappeared they started to hover for the harder to reach ones.
This kingfisher hovered a few times in a frantic five minutes during which time it caught five fish before it flew off for a well earned rest, no doubt!!
A Snowberry Clearwing moth demonstrates its impressive hovering skills while it feeds on nectar.
(On a more personal note: I can't believe I actually pulled this off!)

The whole thing started with the turbine bits. I wanted it to be classic dark gray/red/sand blue/dark blue palette but I didn't have the pieces to do what I wanted so I gave it up. I planned on a camo version too (sand green/dark green/brown/black) with guns instead of the 'saurus head. The bigger engine is supposed to be for high speed while the hover turbines make for maneuverability.
I'm still not good at building space.
