Had a great session with this hoverfly yesterday feeding on some sugar/honey syrup on a camelia bush. Scaeva selenitica - suspect it's the same one I shot a few days ago. MPE-65 from 1:1 to 4:1 FF a little hand focus stacking on some shots.

Super shots as ever Brian. I'm wondering, is it early or about the right time for hovers in the South, cos in the north, there's nothing yet...
