I will try anything once, on the weeds behind where I work on a bored lunch hour.

Re: Hoverfly??
Well taken. I'm not sure I can help on the ID of that one - not from that angle, anyway

Re: Hoverfly??
I like the inclusion of the yellow background. Not clue on the id. though, I find the more I read to try and identify them, the more confused I get.

Re: Hoverfly??
It is a species of Eristalis, so it is a hoverfly, more specifically a drone fly. Larvae are the "rat-tailed maggots" which develop in wet decaying vegetation, often at pond edges, so not an aphid feeder like many hoverflies. Can't be sure of exact species.EOS 6D, 6D Mk II, 80D, 70D, 100D, 200D, M50, M100.
