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

It's been a while since I got out there with the camera, but the workload that kept me away is now over, so I took advantage of today's morning sunshine to chase this hoverfly around the garden. The dill is homegrown. I'm quite proud of this fact; I'm in the process of developing a regenerative life.
Hopefully I should be more flickr active again and be able to take the time to browse your efforts.
another first for me @ Lakenheath Fen yesterday. Two common species in south of England Parhelophilus frutetorum & P versicolor that are difficult to seperate
Taken in my garden in Wigan, Lancs. Using my new Sigma 105mm macro lens was able to magnify the insects enough to see the amazing detail you just wouldn't be able to see with the naked eye. I love macro!
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 ...
Can be separated from the somewhat more common S. ribesii by virtue of its hairy eyes. The very thought of it makes my eyes itch!
These asters are proving the best place to photograph bees the last couple of days - or is this one a wasp? I'm not sure but anyway I like the angle of this with the beautiful blue sky. Update - I now know that this is a species of hoverfly!
