Thank you Nick.
Great photo, an amazing capture!
Thank you Ashley.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Thank you Dr Sherpa. I added the EXIF metadata in notes.

Thank you Bernadette.
Fantastic series!
Thank you KostasZontanos, Looking forward to finding one. Looks like a very rewarding subject to photograph. :)
Thanks Stephanie and Michael. Michael hoverflies are easy to photograph in flight because are hovering (suspended in the air).
Fantastic shots!!! Any advice for in flight shots. I'm using a macro lens but I suppose its just timing.
Fantastic photos!
