Dronefly hoverfly feeding on a crocus. Focus stacked using zerene.

Unfortunately the first crocuses in flower in my garden are in the shade and not attracting any bugs so I cheated by picking a flower and placing it on a sunny camellia bush. It quickly attracted a drone fly

Hoverfly Xanthogramma pedissequum . First I've seen this year. Focus stacked using zerene.

Hoverflies, sometimes called flower flies, or syrphid flies, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods. In some species, the larvae are saprotrophs, eating decaying plant and animal matter in the soil or in ponds and streams. In other species, the larvae are insectivores and prey on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects.

Hoverfly Xanthogramma pedissequum in flight. Taken in natural light. This male was doing territorial hovering in exactly the same place as shots i have taken of the same species for the last 3 years. You can see the wing movement is not stopped at 1/1000th sec shutter speed.
