Long Hoverfly - Sphaerophoria scripta

in r2cornell •  10 months ago 

Hello everyone.
Among old photos new beauty. This photo was taken some time ago. While going through old photos I saw this beautiful insect. After some research I found out it is called Long Hoverfly or Sphaerophoria scripta.
Per wikipedia Sphaerophoria scripta or the Long Hoverfly is a species of hoverfly. Adults mainly feed on pollen and nectar. Source
They fly nicely around the flower. I think up to now I saw many of them but I did not take any photo or did not know their name. It is good that I managed to take couple photos.
Now I will pay more attention on Long Hoverfly and try to get more photos of this beautiful insect.
Enjoy.
