Hoverfly on hebe.

Small but perfectly formed! (both)..

Thank you, Ange! Appreciate your lovely feedback!

looks like is in the Tiger's strip, playing for the home team haha!

I was intrigued by this photo, Kate, looked up Hoverfly images and it seems this a Helophilus pendulus, sometimes known as the footballer due to the stripes.

Sbg, you are so right . .. :o))

Great photo Kate.

Hull is where Kate lives and the local football team are nicknamed the Tigers hence my comment. Yes that was the id i'd decided on.

Eileen - definitely appropriate isn’t it! Colours are spot on to match with the Hull City football strip - aka the Tigers!!!

Thank you, Shirley, that was very kind of you to do some research - I appreciate your effort! What a lovely name too - plus the footballer nickname, as Eileen said, it’s appropriate for my garden! ☺️👍

Thanks Linda!

Kate, I only looked because it's different to the 'usual' Hoverflies! Such striking markings.
