Hoverfly Eumerus funeralis on my finger. Focus stacked using zerene. The hover got fed up with me disturbing it and hopped on to my finger to warm up.

The hoverflies are very lazy today, letting me get up close without even moving away with any determination

Such a bright hoverfly and so different from the other group species. Here it is feeding upon Limonium (sea lavender) flowers. The plant is a cultivated variety in a garden rather than by the coast.

Photographed in our garden, this Hoverfly was giving a demonstration of how these little insects got their name. The glistening white particles on the Hoverfly is pollen from the poppy flowers.

I am not exactly sure of the species of Hoverfly, so if anyone can identify it, I would be grateful!
