[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Eristalis arbustorum is an hoverfly (Syrphidae) of the tribe Eristalini. The sexual dimorphism is important in this species. The male has a prominent 'hourglass' black shape on the orange markings. All tarsi are dark.
Larvae live in organic rich water.
--------------------------------------------------------
L’Eristale des arbustes (Eristalis arbustorum) mâle a un dessin caractéristique noir sur le dessus de l’abdomen, en forme de sablier. Il a les pattes noires et les tibias roux à la base.
C’est un diptère de la famille des Syrphidae, qui se rencontre dans les milieux ouverts d'avril à octobre sur de nombreuses fleurs.
La larve vit dans les eaux stagnantes et les fosses d'aisance. Elle a la forme d'un ver à queue de rat.

Ciao Catherune,
un'altra bellissima composizione con questi splendidi fiori, mi piace molto il tuo stile personale di composizione con tonalità quasi sempre delicate e calde con un uso perfetto delle sfocature, abbinato ad una straordinaria definizione dei dettagli del soggetto principale, come in questo caso; fantastici i colori.
Grazie e complimenti
Maurizio
