First time taking picture of this tiny creature. It was quite a battle!.
奧勒崗州的動物對人真是非常友善，連小蟲也不例外！盡管如此，還是花了一番功夫才拍到一張勉強能看的。
Another shot of one of the many hoverflies in my PNW garden. I believe this is a male Syrphus torvus, but hoverfly ID is always a bit tricky for me! Focus stack.

A pair of hoverflies, busy making more hoverflies 😊, at St Cyrus nature reserve yesterday. (This is a stack of 5 images.)
This hoverfly is called Black-footed Drone Fly and it's a new one to me. It seems to be considerably larger than most of the hoverflies that I've encountered.
Thank you for taking the time to view and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!
Not sure what this one is, can't find it yet in my book. Feeding on some of the wildflowers growing in my lawn and borders.
Myathropa florea is a very common European and North African species of hoverfly. Adults may be seen on flowers from May to September. It is of a similar size to the common drone fly, but Myathropa are generally more yellow, with two light bands to the thorax, interrupted with a black central smudge.
The Poppies have been covered in insects, mainly Hoverflies. Well worth the price of a packet of seed.
First hoverfly shot of the year and a common one on the field. Amazing how the spiders walk all over them and in this case leave threads on everything, including it's antenna!

⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
I captured this hoverfly in flight near this flower. I find these flies to be interesting photo subjects and I'm glad that they only want nectar, not me! Anyway, I followed this fly for a bit as it would shy away with my movement but continued to fly to this flower after a moment or two. It is interesting to note how it holds it's legs while flying to create less drag.
I'm thinking this may be Syrphus ribesii. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know. Thanks!
Taken 5 August 2017 at Botanical Gardens, Anchorage, Alaska.
Taken just as the sun was coming over the tree line at GB Gruffy nature reserve on the Mendips in Somerset.
Quite a few of these hoverflies about attracted by the large patches of devils bit scabious, but didn't have long before they became active again in the morning sun.

A Hoverfly enjoying the Prairie Restoration area in our local park.
It sees summer will not let go. Temps in the low 90's tomorrow with heat indexes near 100!! Then a big cool down. Maybe fall will actually get here soon!
