This fella came along while I was out in the garden taking flower shots. I'm glad he did.

Nice pic, but I don't think it's a mayfly of any kind.

You are correct it's a hover fly. Auto correct put in mayfly and I had submitted it before I noticed. Can't edit it yet. 😕

Some of us fly fisherman can get persnickety about fly names.

Nice catch. Btw, I've changed the title for you. It now says "Hoverfly."

Very nice capture! I like the narrow DOF with the head and front legs in perfect focus.
