Hard job to find any insects these days & with a cool northerly stiff breeze even harder today. Managed to find just 3 in the gdn when sun came out this afternoon.

Think this is one of the many hoverflies but cannot id it

The hoverfly is a bee mimic and has no stinger. It is just a pretty fly that can scare you. Doesn't it look terribly dangerous sipping nectar from the aster?

For two years now I have been admiring the amazing Creation that lives just inside my ability to focus. You know what I mean ... all those little creatures and plants that we know are there but can't really look at because they are a little too small or move a little to fast. Macrophotography is truly a great way to capture and share the marvels of this middle world.

This Hoverfly paused long enough on an opened Pear tree bossom for me to record this 2:1 macro.
