[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
Flies in the Diptera family Syrphidae are commonly known as hoverflies, flower flies, or Syrphid flies.

As their common names suggest, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods. In some species, the larvae are saprotrophs, eating decaying plant and animal matter in the soil or in ponds and streams. In other species, the larvae are insectivores and prey on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects. Aphids alone cause tens of millions of dollars of damage to crops worldwide every year, and so aphid-feeding hover-flies are being recognized as important natural enemies of pests, and potential agents for use in biological control. Adult syrphid flies are important pollinators.

Jose, lovely macro shot and sharp image you have shot. Ganesh

bonjour josé ramon
il faut bien que je trouve quelque chose a dire pour une fois!il manque un petit bout de patte.pour le reste c'est tres bon,evidement la profondeur est un peu alterée a cause des tubes allonges mais possible d'aller au dela de f:32 je suppose.
