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.
