One of my favorite Hover Flies spotted on the Honeysuckle in the garden. While it is feeding, one can get quite close provided you do not make sudden movements!
In the first photo three ocelli can be clearly seen where the two eyes meet at the top. Explanation in the link below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_eye_...
