Hovering around after the rain

There was just a little rain today and it was warmer. As it warmed up, the insects came out. I captured this Hover Fly on the ironweeds.

Thank you so much for your views, comments, and faves! I really do love my 365 friends! :0)

I'm posting a skipper in my other album. It let me get upclose and personal.
