Macro of a Virginia flower fly (Milesia virginiensis) perched on a wild goldenrod (Solidago) blossom stalk, photographed on October 13, 2026, in Mathews County, Virginia. Viewed in a profile perspective facing toward its right, the hover fly shows the left of its bright yellow head with a dark matte-brown compound eye. Its thorax and abdomen are patterned with yellow bands, mimicking a hornet or wasp. Long, slender orange-amber legs anchor to the tiny yellow wildflower clusters as the abdomen curves down. A single translucent amber wing extends straight back, contrasted against a stark, pitch-black background bokeh.

The morning was a bit too chilly and humidity too high but that changed totally during the day. Unfortunately the warm weather also brought out the moose flies.
