Another hoverfly. Everywhere I go there seems to be a nice hoverfly to photograph! This one was taken at spurn point on a little trip to the coast last weekend. I only managed to get a couple of shots before it flew off but this one turned out to be good.

This amazing wasp-mimicking hoverfly was feeding on one of our Bacopa plants. It is obviously keen on it, as it spent ages flying around and then feeding on the many individual flowers.

 

The plant is a ground cover which I have in a broad shallow pot, and it attracts native bees and small butterflies as well.
