Thousand Flowers, Thousand Eyes - _TNY_8421
This is a male bog hoverfly (Sericomyia silentis) sitting on a common yarrow (Achillea millefolium) in the Mjällådalen nature reserve near Härnösand, Sweden.
This species has pretty impressive compound eyes with oh so many facets - which is matched nicely by the flower. This, as "millefolium" tanslates into "a thousand flowers.
