"Mellow Yellow"
Happy #FlyDay, everyone!
#Insects are there to remind us that everything passes. Some day, our current problems will be a distant memory. Also, apropos of nothing, voting matters!

"Bzzz, bzzz ... Zzzz #Flyday Bzzzz"
I'm off to the hairdresser right now... I just can't seem to manage it... Either a day too early... Or an hour too early... luckily not too late yet...
Anyway... Have a great day ☺️

A fearsome predator lurks in the lichens! This striking creature is the larva of a hoverfly - Epistrophe grossulariae. It mostly eats aphids.

Autumn Landing

A hoverfly taking a brief pause among the changing leaves at Three Cornered Copse. The mix of green, yellow and blue caught my eye as much as the insect itself.

Black-eyed Susans are in full bloom to the delight of the hoverflies, but a sign for me that summer is coming to and end.

tiny wings drift by
golden flowers smile and bloom
fall is in the air

Common drone fly. #CommonDroneFly #EristalisTenax #DroneFly #HoverFly #SyrphidFly #Fly #Mimic #Insect #Animal #DaisyFleabane #ErigeronAnnuus #Wildflower #Flower #Nature #Photography #Monona #Wisconsin

A common drone fly on daisy fleabane. The background is long green leaves and sticks. The two visible flowers have about two dozen long white petals surrounding a yellow center. The fly is facing left on the left of two flowers. It mimics the appearance of a bee. The large eyes and thorax are black. The abdomen is orange with black or dark brown markings in the middle. The tail end is black.

Macro color image of a hoverfly dusted in pollen. The Shasta daisy’s long white petals are out of focus and fill up most of the frame while the solitary hoverfly, in focus, forages on the bright golden center disc.
