I don't know many hoverfly species and the id of this one eludes me. It was tiny - it's resting on a small blueberry leaf.

Trying out some lighting setups. Any observations appreciated. I know the pic and pose aren't great but does the lighting work thanks rich

Very tiny hoverfly on colorful tickseed flower on a rare sunny afternoon. Handheld so not quite perfect focus. Hoping to go back again whenever we get more sun, rainy today. Next photo shows how small the hoverfly is on this very small flower.

Help required on ID please - hoverfly but which one?

Hoverflies are sometimes called flower flies as their common name suggests they are often seen hovering or collecting nectar from flowers. The adults of the species feed manely on nectar and pollen, while the larvae eat a wide range of foods.

Had an enjoyable day in the first proper warm weather of the year. Unsure of the type of hoverfly, i did wonder if its Platycheirus peltatus.

A Hoverfly, erm, hovering.

Hoverfly, approach towards the flower, prepare landing :-)

Hoverflies, also called flower flies or syrphids, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae eat a wide range of foods

Hoverfly - Ocyptamus sp.

Small hoverfly feeding on a Felicia flower. This flower is less than 2cm across. Worth viewing larger.

I'm rubbish at titles, so I would welcome alternatives!!

Have a great week everyone!

This hoverfly was first recorded in Jersey last year but already this year we have recorded 11 adults so appears to be expanding well here.

I wasn't carrying a macro lens today (it's December for goodness' sake!) so I had to shoot this unexpected hoverfly with the big tele-zoom. Luckily it focuses pretty close and the light was good. It's one of a group of similar-looking hoverflies in the Syrphidae family, either Epistrophe or Syrphus sp.

WHO AM I ??

I seek the help of an expert in identifying insects... coz I am not sure if this is a hoverfly.

Thanks for the view ,faves and comments

Have a nice day!!
