I love hoverflies. Great photos Hywel.

Smashing photos and very interesting blog. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for your comments :)

Fabulous shots Hywel, don't know how you did it.

Smashing photo's Hywel, they were busy, noticed lots of hoverflies around this year, the verbena and the blue flowers in the pond are the preference for them in my garden......I don't mind them or the bees and will watch them for ages but if the big hornets put in an appearance thats when Susie legs it indoors VERY quickly, lol.....

Very good close ups Hywel. All pollinated so now you can have cactus fruit.
That flower is beautiful.

Gosh Hywel the photos are very good, I see media photos not as detailed as those, isn't the flower a lovely colour too........

Lovely pics Hywel... lots of hoverflies about this year....

Great close ups Hywel, so glad the hoverflies are busy out there.
