Oh my goodness! What a fantastic creature. What fantastic shots! Great job!
I could never get close enough to one for a photo!
Great shot!!! I have never seen a insect being photographed while flying.
This is some beautiful hoverfly, and such good pictures, all three of them. Congrats!
Thank you Sckel, rams4d, ceherzog and EnvUnlimited for your comments...
You are such a talented photographer! Thank you for sharing this picture. :)
Thank you beaker98 or your appreciation...
Very impressive capture on that first one! That couldn't have been easy:) Amazing!
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful fly. You caught it in flight perfectly!
Thank you koixtreme.... Hoverflies are relatively easy to shoot because they remain at the same spot for some time comparing to bees and dragonflies!!!
How in the world did you manage to shoot such a stunning shot...!!! Very nice spotting, I agree with namitha!
