| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Hoverflies have a characteristic flight pattern- hovering in one spot, moving suddenly forwards or sideways, then hovering again.
Hoverflies are members of a fly family that have evolved as wasp and bee mimics. They are important as pollinators of plants.
Hoverfly mimicry of wasps can include having a warning colouration of yellow and black, a narrow waist like a wasp and even the ability to mimic the stinging action of a wasp, by pushing the tip of the abdomen into your fingers if they are caught and held. However they do not sting and are quite harmless. |

Nice catch for the hover in the act.

Incredible. Great DOF. How did you ever get him to hover in front of your lens long enough to take a photo? Nice work!
