I thought English language had a name for almost everything :)
Very strange when we got a name in Danish...

Thank you Jeannette! I looked for another common name for this hoverfly but was unsuccessful. I found most just have the name Hoverfly or Syrphid Fly. Not as unique as other species.

Hello Jeannette, this is a beautiful shot of the Hoverfly! I hope you'll consider adding it to the Flies! mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8526...
