Sphaerophoria sp
I didn't even have the chance to zoom in. One photo and it flew away. It is so cute. I have seen it before in great macro on Project Noah, but can't remember what this is called. Thanks for your help. (6.35 - 10 mm)
Meadow in Poconos
I don't think I have any of this species posted on here. Yes, many of the syrphids, particularly in the Subfamily Syrphinae are very tiny!
Thanks Small Wonders. Don't you have a macro of this insect? I was looking in your photos but couldn't find it. I believe it was 1/4 inch. I could barely see it.
Thanks so much! Always be prepared to take a photo of a 1/4 inch "thing". HA!
wait for another suggestion, i'm not too certain about this. your spotting seems to have larger rounded eyes
Thanks so much! Looks like it has a crown on its head. I would have loved to get a better shot. :(
