"flies"

hoverfly beautiful shot

Wow, I didn't notice, the third picture is really cool. Maybe you should separate pict 3 and 4 on a different Spot since they are different fly species and they are foraging on different plant species

They are all hoverflies (Syrphids). You have three different species on your spottings. The first picture has two but they will be very hard to ID from a photo as they are all very similar. You could try though. I would start with Syrphus torvus or S. Ribesii and work from there. The last two pictures are probably of Scaeva pyrastri. Nice shots too, especially the last two. :)

Wow spectacular photo! 1 vote for SOTD~! :) My fav. is the black and white fella whos head seems bigger then the flower hes landed on. heheh Thanks for the spot

Such a beautiful picture, Renata! Can you please upload picture number 2 again? It seems it didn't upload properly, sorry!

Gorgeous!

Thanks Juan for info. I checked...these flies are possessing very imporant place in web of life on the Earth..!!

they are mimicking bees and wasps, though they do not have a sting

amazing they do look like bees

it is most likely an Episyrphus balteatus - flower flies, or hoverfly

no, those are Syrphid flies

Second picture to be reloaded. I think its honeybee on Poppy flower.
