[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Our garden milled with these Syrphid flies in April and I could not help shooting them in excess.
I have a fairly big collection of their pictures and whenever I look at them, I can't resist the temptation of posting yet another. So please bear with me.

Since our scholarly friend Radomir from Poland has given us a very informative note of this species in his picture posted today, I would like to dedicate my picture to him.
I would suggest you have a look at his picture and read his note for information on this creature that poses to be a dangerous but is in fact a harmless cute little Hoverfly.

Thanks for looking.

Hello Ram,
The use of flash has led to just the right lighting and BG to bring out this fine portrait of a hoverfly with perfect focusing on the head and the composition is very pleasing, making a fine posting and a nice tribute to our friend Radomir.
TFS this beauty,
Ivan

Some days are like that eh Ram? I know...and it does give good reason for dedication to add to the moment...as not to make it something everyday...but in a round about way something very special which you do as well as anyone! Keep on writing!
