Yesterday I pulled off a magnolia petal to snack on and found this poor hoverfly was hiding underneath, it didn’t even flinch

The Batman Hoverfly (Myathropa florea) is easily recognised from the famous batman symbol on its thorax. This species prefers woodland areas but favours feeding on umbellifers usually found on woodland margins. Larvae feed on bacteria in damp rot-holes or crevices near the base of trees.

Marmalade Hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) is one of the most common and easily recognised hoverflies in the UK. The yellow and black colouration gives the overall impression of a wasp-like insect, but this is a harmless pollen feeder, making it an example of Batesian mimicry. They are significant pollinators and the larvae feed on aphids, making this very much a gardener's friend! #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #hoverfly #diptera #insects #macro

Two-banded Spearhorn Hoverfly (Chrysotoxum bicinctum) is a very distinctive hoverfly species found in taller grassland habitats, usually sheltered near trees and shrubs. The larvae are thought to be associated with ant-attended aphids, but little is known about their biology. #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #hoverfly #diptera #insects #macro #macrophotography

I saw the Batman Hoverfly today. Thought it was a honeybee in the shed looking for something dusty to collect and pass off as pollen but it was the big hoverfly.

diese familie unter den zweiflüglern ist so artenreich, dass es für unsere hier nicht zu einem eigenen deutschen namen oder wiki-artikel gereicht hat 🤷
