Walking past a load of overgrown brambles I spotted this little hoverfly (not sure of the species) among all the bees visiting the flowers.
Hoverfly caught in the clutches of a sundew. Remarkable how efficient these plants are. The prey is not always wrapped like this - it depends upon size and point of capture.
Hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus in the "studio". Focus stacked using zerene. Same hoverfly as previous on finger shots. I eventually released the hover into my greenhouse which does at least have frost heating.
