It is Sunday and it is featherless once more. This is a Hoverfly that I found in my garden. It posed long enough for several macro shots and the ring light didn't bother it at all.

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.
