My family and I call hoverflies fake wasps. Just glancing at them they look like wasps but they are much nicer. They don't have a sting which is good and they are just a lot less threatening. We have had loads in the garden over the last couple of months and this one came to pose for the camera. When I went to take a photo of the flower it wasn't there and landed just as I was ready to.
Your photography is awesome, love it...glad that one came to pose for you :)
ReplyDeleteit certainly looks waspy and it's amazing that it doesn't sting
ReplyDeleteI was confused until I googled hoverfly and found that there is a hornet species... we call them fake hornets! What a great photo though, well done xx
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of this type of wasp before! I just assumed they all had stingers.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing photo! It looks like it's from a nature book!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant photo! The 'fake wasp' matches the flower perfectly.
