These are a few different Hoverflies. They are really common over here and are harmless. They kinda look like wasps to the untrained eye, I guess it is their defence mechanism! Isn't nature wonderful :-D
About Me
- Ananka
- I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)
...I have an untrained eye, they all look like flies!
ReplyDeleteHaha yes, I am learning about all the different flies! I like these guys, they don't bite me haha!
DeleteSi las viera por la naturaleza, seguro que algunas confundiría con una avispa.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
They really do look like wasps! Thanks :-D
DeleteThe first two resemble wasps to me but the last one looks kind of special with its colouring. I've never seen one like that.
ReplyDeleteDon't they just Yes the last is a bit funky isn't he! I was lucky to get a photo of him. Thanks :-D
DeleteBeautiful Hoverflies Ananka.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob. Good to see you here :-D
DeleteNice combination of black and yellow: such a beautiful creature!
ReplyDeleteThey really are Giorgio, I like these little guys. Thanks :-D
DeleteThey are certainly diverse hoverflies to look at.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, thanks :-D
DeleteI would have thought they were bees LOL!
ReplyDeleteLol yes they look like bees or wasps! :-D
DeleteLinda abeja. Te mando un beso.

DeleteBeautiful designs on their backs.
ReplyDeleteThey have some lovely designs :-D
DeleteThank you, Ananka!
ReplyDeleteThanks Irina :-D
DeleteThey look like BEES, but if you say they're not, that's fine with me.
ReplyDeleteThey really do, but they are hoverflies :-D
DeleteOurs are small--- but they seem like tiny bees to me.
ReplyDeleteThese vary in size. They do look so like bees and wasps don't they! Thanks :-D
DeleteHoverflies are wonderful insects, well worthy of our attention. I am not familiar with their abundance in Scotland, Ananka, but I suspect there are more than “a few.” Your challenge now is to go find them all!
ReplyDeleteAt least 5 or 6 different types that I have seen. They are lovely little creatures aren't they! That will be a hard challenge but I can try haha. Thanks David :-D
