A hoverfly on cosmos flower in our Staffordshire garden this morning. I'm not very good with hoverflies; but this could be Helophilus pendulus. The black on the hind tibia is restricted to the distal third.

This hoverfly was photographed on a buddleia flower in our garden. Syrphus vitripennis is a fairly widespread in Britain and frequents a wide range of habitats. It can be found from March to November peaking slightly in May, but is most abundant in July and August. It is also a noted migrant.

 

The larvae feed on aphids and are considered a useful garden species for this reason.

In the UK there are more than 250 species of hoverflies and over 6,000 worldwide.

 

Thats an awful lot of individual photographs you could take of this type of fly alone.

 

Happy weekend folks!

 

Cheers

Saw this little chap today on a walk. He wanted to scold me for being on his patch but also wanted to keep hold of that mouthful so, instead of a song or alarm call, he had to make do with muffled grunts.

Today's back garden safari... hoverflies! Very tricky to photograph - they're tiny, they don't stay still for long, don't come close and it's hard to get a focus on them. Going to stick with birds from now on ...
