One Hogweed plant in flower had a Footballer Hoverfly, a Marmalade Hoverfly and a Yellow Dung fly on the florets along with other unidentifiable tiny beetles and flies. Mid Cornwall today.

The sum of many parts!
This Hoverfly is coming up as Sphaerophoria spec on my identity app but I’m not sure if this is correct. Found in Walthamstow London in July if this helps.

Hoverfly
I caught this at one of those weird times when it was not hovering
It was just sitting there
It's easier that way

A rather striking Knapweed from the Bristol car park with the over-enthusiastic wildflower planting. One of its #PollinatorPals hoverfly friends is still around, too. #WildflowerHour

Still a few insects around on my walk. These 2 were on the Marigolds in the garden: Marmalade Hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus), Common Drone Fly (Eristalis tenax) The marigolds just pop up in the gravelled front garden every year which is nice. Look at the hairy backs all the better for pollinating?!

Handheld on a hoverfly is impressive. Steady hands and a lot of patience.

9 Lapwing, (first since Feb) 2 Fieldfare, (first since March) ~20 Redwing, 4 Meadow Pipits, some Finches and a Skylark amongst the vizmig this morning.
Sadly, the best viz-mig of the autumn so far. Is there more to come?

It was a struggle to get this rocoto in through the greenhouse door. Nice to see there's still the odd hover fly larva around to repel the aphid invaders. 🌶️🌱

"Clear Wing Fly on Blooming Rabbitbrush" by @DebraMartz
I called this Clear Wing because its wings are transparent. Stumped on the type, but believe it is a type of Syrphid Fly. Do you know what it is?
