She must have something special

[Geoff F]

At this time of the year it is quite common to find a male Eristalis nemorum hoverfly hovering above a female. But this female must be extra special because she had attracted 6 suitors.



After quite a few shots I managed to get four of them and the female, almost focused, in the one shot.

Nice catch.

Cool shot, Geoff. Very interesting.

Can't say I have ever noticed that before Geoff. Interesting. Nice shot.

[Geoff F]

So the challenge is for anyone to get more than 4 males plus the female into one shot, without resorting to pasting in extras.

Thanks for the comments.

Good capture Geoff , it is really a challenge

[IzzieK]

That will be a hard challenge for me when I cannot even get one sitting still. I think it is bug time around here...
Anyway, that is great! 'Wish I can do that...I am really and truly envious.
