[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The bug hoverfly is a bee mimic; it is very similar in general appearance to a bee (1). Like all members of the Eristalis genus, this species does not have a pattern of spots on the eyes (3). It can be distinguished from other Eristalis species by the orange tibia (4). Male and female hoverflies are relatively easy to tell apart; in males the eyes meet at the top of the head, whereas in females they are separated (3).

hello Francisco,
Very cute little hoverfly..I never have seen one with this kind of patterns. I less like the fact that it is perched on a finger, but it gives us the scale.
Kind regards
Anne
