Field Notes

Description:

After seeing Phil's hoverfly photos the other day, I thought I would give it a try, so spent an afternoon stalking hoverflies in the back garden. They are certainly nifty little buggers. My photos are not quite up to Phil's standards, but I had fun trying to get the shots. These ones appear to be part of the genus Baccha as they are very small, elongated and slender.

Habitat:

Can be found flying around most gardens where there are flowers.
