A hoverfly pauses to feed, its delicate transparent wings revealing an extraordinary network of veins against the soft lavender backdrop of the flower.
What caught my attention was the contrast, the bold yellow and black markings of the hoverfly against those gentle purple tones, while the shallow depth of field allows the tiny subject to command the frame.
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.
