Hoverfly

great photo.

Thanks Suey, It's one of my favourites.

What a great shot, Ron. They move SO quickly - it is not always easy to catch them like that. There are FAR more than usual around this year - up here at least.....it is quite common to see a dozen or more crowding round each flower.
Now then ..I am fascinated by your new ladybird ID Is that one of your own pics? I had a look and didn't see one with that many spots....it must be a Harlequin....or am I up the wrong ladybird tree...LOL Something about the white bit at the front...right?
