🦟Marmalade Spotted 🦟

Those wings are especially long….

I think this hoverfly was feeding to get ready to migrate south.

By midday in a chill breeze, sun brought out the gossamer-winged creatures, each gaining energy in the late-flowering natives. A single Common Blue male vibrated his tattered pale blue wings before stilling to bask.

🧛 Hoverflies don’t bite – they can’t 🦟🩸 🦇

Continuing the Halloween theme...

Hoverflies unlike some other flies don't bite, but rather have short spongy mouthparts that dab. At a flower they will be dabbing up nectar.

How beautiful it is to see a little hoverfly pause quietly amid these bright cosmos petals. It’s amazing what you notice when you slow down and look closely at your neighborhood gardens. ❤
