Description

Episyrphus balteatus, Britain's commonest hoverfly, on one of my sunflowers. Today we have heavy downpours, much needed.

Superb pic depicting exquisite clarity and patterns, Andrea. Congratulations on the downpour. We haven't had a downpour, much less a steady rain, here in several years. Still in the upper 90s Fahrenheit here.

Well dang. All this time it's actually been "tangerine trees and marmalade flies?" ;) This is superb. Your little friend posed in just the right spot on just the right flower for this perfectly gorgeous photograph. Wonderful!

I love Tara's comment. These are the bugs everyone squashes whenever they see them. Your macro shows just how attractive these little guys are and how much people miss. A truly splendid image.
