Very wet day today but garden wanted it! Looking for something to post I found this fairly scarse variety of Hoverfly not posted before. Fairly scarse species but recorded in many southern areas. Taken in June 2 years ago

Episyrphus balteatus ? - I am not good with Hoverfly IDs any pointers appreciated.

The Lavender is starting to attract insects.

Single Shot hand held, Raynox DCR-250 and Diffused Flash.

Normally I don't like close-ups, but this fly is really tiny (9mm for adults) --- a closeer look is warranted.

The bright yellow little flower that the hoverfly is feeding on is also known as Common Tansy, Bitter Buttons, Cow Bitter, Mugwort or Golden Buttons.

This image is included in a gallery "Degli Insetti" curated by Grisu.

Hoverfly Xanthogramma pedissequum. First of the year. Focus stacked using zerene

I think that this may be a Syrphus hoverfly, but there's a good chance I'm wrong! Taken in Durham.

The Syrphids (hoverfly) look likes a wasp or a bee but it's an insect from the Syrphidae family.

Taken in september with a very affordable macro lens:

Pergear 65mm F2.8 mark 2, macro 2x for Z mount.

Summer is here and the Hoverfly's are out.

Hoverfly feeding on a cistus flower - its proboscis can be clearly seen.

There are so many insects around the garden right now - they have really captured my attention... and I am enjoying the new camera !!
