It’s another well captured critter from Avalus, who tells us that this hoverfly was enjoying the cucumbers that his mother had planted. I’m enjoying everything about this photo from the beautiful light to the sunshine yellow flower to the rich detail of the hoverfly itself. Thanks for sharing, Avalus.

What a pretty bug! I love this shot too, it shows quite nicely that sometimes a deep DOF works wonderfully in a close-up photo. I really like that background!

A very stylish fly.

Background: the rugged, overgrown and thus wonderful garden of my parents. And some rocky stepping stones.
