Orange Marmalade - _TNY_9165
The marmalade hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) like this female on the flower of a great burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis) is one of my favourie hoverfly species.
Not only is it attractive and relatively unafraid which makes it easier to shoot, but also I can't think of a species which is more fond of hovering than this one which makes it easier than most to photograph on the wing.
