For the last few weeks the yarrow has been attracting quite a large variety of insects. This week was no exception and a new visitor we noticed was this small Hoverfly (Eristialis Anthophorina). They have a very bee like appearance that screams don’t mess with me or I will sting you. Mimicry at it’s best.


A lovely photograph.

Thanks Eliza, it is fun to have the ability to use a camera as a bit of a microscope into another world so to speak.
