Hoverflies, also called flower flies or syrphid flies, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers.

Hoverfly in the "studio". I temporarily kidnapped this hoverfly from outside and fed it some sugar/honey to keep it busy whilst I took some shots. Focus stacked using zerene. I did release it where I trapped it.

I don't know what kind of flowers these are but the Hoverflies sure liked them. I liked the "hairy" center.

One from the archives. Early morning and this hover is just waking up. His hairs are matted down from the scarce morning humidity near the creek. HFDF everyone!
