back garden snaps of a hoverfly in flight while hoping to see the Holly Blue butterfly that wont sit still!
Hoverfly on camelia leaf feeding on sugar/honey syrup. Focus stacked using zerene. Xanthandrus comtus
At 1/180 second, the hoverfly's wings are a blur. Some hoverflies look like bees or wasps, and the larvae (maggots) of some are aphidophagous
I think this may be Syrphus ribesii. Vany anyone confirm or correct please? Seen at RHS Hyde Hall, Rettendon, Essex.
Resting. For maybe 10 seconds, max. It was hovering right under me. Literally, just before stopping on this leaf.

Great pollinators are the hoverflies. This hover is enjoying sone echinacea blooms
Photograph taken at Astley Park's Wall Garden, Chorley.
This image was taken in the early morning at East Harptree Woods in Somerset on the 22nd July 2012.
Loads of these little Hoverflies about, but as soon as you get close they fly away, usually very slowly!!
Finally managed to get one that would stay still, in fact this one seemed quite content to dab away on the stamens so I had to wait a while before it stayed still long enough to get a shot.
Some of these Hoverflies look quite dull until you get a close up view of them.
Best viewed very large.
