#InsectThursday with a drone fly shyly feeding on an aster yesterday. Just look at all the pollen filters for them to enjoy, no wonder I'm still seeing so many pollinators! #hoverflies #Lancashire #vitaminN

I just love how the camera lens opens a door to another world. Here's a peek into the secret life of the Marmalade hoverflies. Well, maybe not that secret 😁

My best shot of a Hoverfly (Syrphus Ribesii) so far! Taken on the banks of the River Monnow, Monmouth, South Wales. 23/09/26. The Hoverfly is coming into a Cow Parsley (I think). Taken with a Nikon D500, Sigma 150-600mm at max zoom. 1250th at f8, ISO 3600 full manual mode. #ukinsects #hoverflies

👀 Anyone seen Batman? 🔎 🦇

My Ivy is just coming into blossom so as well as looking for Ivy Bees, which would be a first in my garden, I on the lookout for Batman.

Which ones are on your Ivy?
