Just the name made me smile. And seeing the little creature in action, even more. Thank you.

Thank you, Philip. I have been making an inventory of everything that lives in our local nature area prior to trying to improve its biodiversity. This was one of the many hoverfly species that I identified during the summer – but as always tentatively, and welcoming any corrections. I am learning as I go.
