Hover fly

Thanks Akash! The first image isn't as sharp as I would like but probably because it is heavily cropped - unfortunately I only managed a couple of shots before it moved on!

No problem! I have removed this spotting from the mission & when I get a chance I will also remove all my butterflies, moths, bees & other pollinators too!

Thanks for pointing this out Carolina! This was one of the first missions I joined when I first started using Project Noah as it came up as a 'local mission'. I realize I should have read the mission statement more carefully but I see from the various spottings that have been submitted for this mission that I was not alone in thinking this a US wide initiative for all pollinators, not just bees. There appear to be many spotting from around the US & lots of butterflies & moths. Perhaps if the mission was titled 'the great pollinator project - bees of NYC' this might help to ensure that the spottings that are added are relevant!
