    She must have something special

    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.

    She must have something special

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

    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.

    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.
