Scaeva pyrastri
Hoverflies do size from 3 mm to 25 mm. In colour Hoverflies look sometimes yellow, orange, red, brown, metallic or black and any combination in between. They can also look slim and bold or fat and hairy. Because of this variety it is why this group is so attractive to work on and is studied very well over the past centuries. The first species where scientifically described in by Linnaeus in 1758. Currently there are around 5500 different hoverfly species described around the world. But even now new species can be discovered.

Hi Robi.
What a nice and elegant close-up shot you have shared. Clearness and delicateness of colours, exactness of details, lines and shapes are simply amazing. You have selected exposure parameters perfectly also as well as the POV. Your work with flash is excellent too. BG is well illuminated, blurred and very impressive. Skillfully doe beautiful picture. My best regards and TFS.

Bonjour Robi,
This is an excellent macro!
I like so much the close aproach and the POV used here.
Details on the hoverfly are so good and sharp.
The fill flash use was excellent, you got a very homogeneous illumination on the insect.
The transparencies on the wings are very good.
I like so much the composition and the blurred background got.
Congratulations and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM

Allo Robi,
C'est une belle macro bien composée et détaillée. J'aime bien ces couleurs et ce beau BG. Je crois que j'aurais ajusté les niveaux pour que ce soit un peu moins clair, ça demeure néanmoins une excellente photo. Merci,
Claudine

bonjour robi
moi aussi j'ai trouvé ce genre de mouche aujourd'hui,je publierais un autre jours.
la fleur semble un peu pale mais c'est surement sa couleur naturelle!
bonne netteté sur l'avant plan.

Bonjour Robi,
Jolie présentation d'une syrphe en train de se régaler sur une scabieuse. Couleurs très délicates et ensemble très réussi.
Bonne journée
