Hover Fly

Had to look this little guy up as I did not know what he was! A harmless little nectar drinker!

That is such a clear and beautiful shot. Such pretty patterns on his back too - I have certainly never noticed those before.

He is handsome with his wonderful markings!! ... Stunning Macro shot!!

@helenhall @jspassion Thanks. I'm really happy with this shot!! As I watched him, he wriggled his back end...it was pretty entertaining!

@koalagardens I think that is his eye. They are only about the size of your pinky fingernail! Love my macro!
