Great Masterwort is Great, Pt. 2 - - _TNY_0972

This charmer with the hairy eyes is a male drone fly, specifically an Eristalis interrupta (no common English name).

 

Part 1 is significantly closer here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53587601568/

 

And the nice cup he is drinking from is the wonderful great masterwort (Asatrantia major) - a flower which appears to entice lots of flying insects, so many in fact that I have an album with 150+ photos of various bugs on them. Have a look at it here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/albums/72157636480565085/
