"HOVER FLY". = Syrphid Fly = Syrphidae.

The adults eat pollen & nectar according to THIS.

My friend from Argentina, Ricardo A. Palonsky, known as RAP on TN has this to SHARE.

However, they lay their eggs as close as possible to an Aphid colony.

In the image you are seeing, it, the HOVER FLY, is making its "approach" to land.

It has almost landed with its GEAR DOWN.

This is a TOUCH DOWN.

Now let the GRAZING BEGINE.

I can spot an APHID. Can you??? Right before my eyes and slightly to the left.... can you "see" its two eyes and its antenna??? No???

Well, I CAN. And a BEETLE too.

Best seen ENLARGED by clicking on right bottom corner of import/s.

Warmified by 2 points to "hide" the over exposed white of the petal.

My friend Alex99 is right.
I had tried to hide the wall in the rear of the "HOVER FLY". In so doing the result was this:"It is so difficult kind of shooting: in-flight insect picture. Timing and composition are great. Exposure of the white petal is so poor as well as the colou reproduction of the yellow flower heart. However, image of the fly is superb."
So, I've re-posted the original in "as is" frame.
Now I feel that the result is as it SHOULD HAVE BEEN, in the first place, I hope.
