Sometimes this Hoverfly is called marmalade hoverfly, says Wikipedia ;)
Thank you so much, that you like the photos, Neli 😊

Hoverfly was the first successful macro shot I made amd ever since it is one of my favourite.
Your photos are briliant as always.

I love bees most of all insects, but the hoverflies are somehow very beautiful when you look closer at them. Their big eyes are amazing, and I try always to photograph one when it hovers in front of me, but I have never managed to get a sharp photo.

Oh yes, hoverflies look amazing withbtheir big eyes.
I love bees too and they are always busy buzzing. The big challenge for me was the close-up of wasp.

... and I have never photographed a wasp either ;)
Bees and all other insects are easier to photograph early in the morning, when it is not so warm and they move a bit slower.
