  11. A #Hoverfly rests on a green leaf.

    Its dark body stays close to the leaf edge while the green blade runs farther beneath it.

  15. The Batman Hoverfly (Myathropa florea) is easily recognised from the famous batman symbol on its thorax. This species prefers woodland areas but favours feeding on umbellifers usually found on woodland margins. Larvae feed on bacteria in damp rot-holes or crevices near the base of trees.

  20. Marmalade Hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) is one of the most common and easily recognised hoverflies in the UK. The yellow and black colouration gives the overall impression of a wasp-like insect, but this is a harmless pollen feeder, making it an example of Batesian mimicry. They are significant pollinators and the larvae feed on aphids, making this very much a gardener's friend! #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #hoverfly #diptera #insects #macro

  25. Two-banded Spearhorn Hoverfly (Chrysotoxum bicinctum) is a very distinctive hoverfly species found in taller grassland habitats, usually sheltered near trees and shrubs. The larvae are thought to be associated with ant-attended aphids, but little is known about their biology. #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #hoverfly #diptera #insects #macro #macrophotography

  30. I saw the Batman Hoverfly today. Thought it was a honeybee in the shed looking for something dusty to collect and pass off as pollen but it was the big hoverfly.

  40. Dark-winged Wrinklehead (Chrysogaster solstitialis) is a common hoverfly in the UK. The adults feed mostly on umbellifers. In common with other Chrysogaster species, the larvae are aquatic and live in mud and decaying vegetation beside streams and ponds. The eyes meeting at the top of the head indicate that this one is a male.
