Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...
Macro of a Hover Fly on a Rudbeckia.
Hoverflies, also called flower flies or syrphid flies, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae eat a wide range of foods. Hoverflies also pollinate flowers, though not always as efficiently as bees. This gives them the energy and nutrients they need to reproduce.
