Count the Eyes, Pt. 2 - _TNY_9451

I mean, there's no real reason to count them, but if you wanted to - you sure could zoom in on the eyes (or rather prisms) of this beautiful female marmelade hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) on a Carthusian pink (Dianthus carthusianorum) at my mom's summer house. The eye detail came out just great here - and even greater on Part 1 which is closer here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52215431877/

 

The striping on the abdomen of this species can vary a bit, but I think like this one with lighter coloured bands look the best.
