At first glance I thought this was another paper wasp of some sort,but then the pose looks atypical for a hoverfly.I take it this is a very small hoverfly. Nice and clear. Well captured Paul.

Superb macro Paul. At first glance it looks like a wasp good to know the difference. Since joining TN I'm amazed just how many different types of Hoverfly there is in the UK. Well done.

Really very nice Paul the colours and control of the whites is very good and the body is pin sharp.
Good note from a genuine piece of detective work, just what I hoped see happen in TN.

It had me Paul. I looked and thought it a wasp of some sort. When I read your note I had another look and saw the small antennae. They're not called bee mimics for nothing. Nice of you to show us this one. You are building up quite a collection.

Good shot, Paul. You really know how to find and shoot them. The color detail is amazing, it looks plastic(but I know you won't do it to us). Very good note.

Excellently sharp capture with full use of the F-8 - just the near wing falling outside DOF range. Good light & handling of the whites. You're right, it does look a bit like a plastic toy left behind ;-))
