Absolutely splendid shots, Deni. Your hoverflies are superb. Interesting & rare find, that humongous pot-bellied bot fly!

thank you all for the comments.
I must say that the fly was collected,and will be heading to the university of massachussets,where they are doing research on them.it,s only the 3 rd specimen of it,s kind to be examined since the early 1700,s.they will collect DNA,freeze it at -80 c,to preserve it,then will send the mounted specimen to the smythsonian institute museum where it will remain on display,and the DNA will be available to anyone worldwide for research purposes.
