Ball of Fuzz - _TNY_7087

This is still very early in the season for bug photography up here in Stockholm, Sweden, but things are beginning to wake up.

 

This ball of fuzz is a large bee-fly (Bombylius major), also known as the dark-edged bee-fly because of the colouration of the wings.

 

I found it buzzing around from one grape hyacinth (Muscari botryoides) to another in front of my house a couple of days ago and I was very pleased with getting a couple of shots of it as they often are quite shy and skittish.
