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 😁

But the Ivy will be flowering next in the garden, there is already a #buzz.

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?

#Wildflowerhour Ivy flowers locally are out! Here are just a few visitors; wide eyed ivy #bees, the footballer and batman #Hoverflies. Such a wonderful plant for #pollinators, then berries to feed the birds in late autumn too! #Preston #Lancashire @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social

1/2 ACE! The 'duck-bill' of the Snout Hoverfly protects an ENORMOUS proboscis, as long as its body. Here it is cleaned, before being folded away and tucked back into the 'beak'. This is in our Rye garden.
