[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This fly gets its name from the way it hovers in the air above flowers. This is one of the best species to have in your flower garden because the larvae feed on small insects like aphids. Hover flies look a lot like honey bees, but these flies have very small antennae, while the antennae of honey bees are fairly long.

Sochira,

A great pic that is well composed, sharp and detailed. The DOF and BG allow for the subject to be detailed in the pic. I like the lighting as it brings out the many colours in your pic too. Very well done on capturing and posting this clear image.
TFS,
Sheriff
