Myathropa florea, also found Myatropa florea male

This syrphid fly is a very common one on the flowers from May to September. We can found it overall in Europe and in North Africa.

Same size as a drone fly.

Very well seen and captured.

Bonjour Marie, superbe macro! Les détails sont excellents et l'exposition parfaite, bon travail! Merci,

Mario

Hola marie, muy buena aproximación, una toma bien compuesta, con un acertado encuadre dejando aire hacia donde mira el motivo. Un saludo

A funny name, "dead head fly" Marie, your capture perfectly displays quite a fat fly my friend, I wonder how those tiny wings carry it through the air!
Cheers,
Mehmet

Un'altra composizione macro in un vero laboratorio naturale; ottimi POV e DOF, eccellente nitidezza con dettagli bellissimi e ben definiti, molto belli i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello marie,

Very sharp macro with lots of details.
Looks like you have been flashed?
There are some light reflection.
Good note's too!

Hi Marie,
Both this and the workshop look great.
Very good color, DOF, and your flash is doing a good job of pulling out all the details :)
Well done,
Howard

Hi Marie,
Outstanding macro shot of this Syrphid Fly with immaculate sharoness and colours. Superb lighting and exposure and the details are clear. The green leaf acts as a fine BG and lets the fly stand out nicely. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hello Mariki,
This image of M. florea is a superb nmacro of a hoverfly. The POV, sharpness and composition on the leaf are all excellent.
You have chose a fine BG for you latest insect images. Clever of you to arrange this as the macros are really pleasing to look at.
Thanks for sharing this fine image,
Cheers, Ivan

Hello Marie Christine,
this is interesting species, and it looks like a bee. I have seen some Syrphidae species, but when they usually hovering. I thought about this species it was from different group.
Well, your macro great with great sharpness and details, nice POV and composition and colors. Workshop also great. Its large eyes look very nice. thanks for sharing, best wishes
