Hover-fly feeding from Verbena

Wonderful picture Janey, I really want your camera, shows so much detail :-)

Thanks Kathy...:o) It sees so much more than I do...Lol!

Really nice close up Janey .. :o)

Great pic!!

Fantastic Closeup!

Lol, know the feeling Janey, blind as a bat without my specs :-)

Thanks everyone....:o)

Oh yes Janey. Funny how we have a similar picture on here :-)

What a beauty Janey.we too have had lots and lots of these in the garden (and porch !) Lol

Everyone likes your porch Jane - how the ferrel kitten?
I guess the hover fly does a similar job to the bees by pollunating?

Lol Dawn...shes still with us.Sleeps most of the day on the compost heap. The good news is that she hasnt gone for any of the birds...I told her off for stalking just the once..bless her ! The hoverflies do pollinate..and keep the aphids under control too.....

It's all good then Jane :-) I'm so pleased the kitten is still around, she obviously knows that she's got it good.

Oh she certainly knows that Dawn Lol :o)

great shot janey,

Sounds like your feral kitten has made her home Jane.......do you think by the winter she'll be coming in?
Its been great to see so many hover-flies this year....the blackflies we had early on in the garden, soon disappeared with these and the Ladybirds....:o)

Your avatar is cute Janey. So many ladybirds this year and doing a fab job.

Hope so Janey..she is still very wary..but comes in twice a day for her food !! Lol Agree.so many hoverflies..hardly any aphids ! Lol

They are Dawn....I bet she will Jane once the chilly air starts nipping at her paws.............

:o))
