Who has eaten all the pollen?
Just a quick snap of an Empis tessellata fly which amused me.

A bit windy and I couldn't get absolutely square with this insect because of the foliage.
As well as pollen, this species also catches other flies. I saw a couple carrying their prey in those long legs but couldn't get a suitable camera angle.

Fascinating. Don't we all learn so much on here (in addition to what we find out about photography). It shows us the power of photography to inform.

And occasionally, Katy, you 'hit the jackpot' and get something rare.

Xanthogramma citrofasciatum an uncommon hoverfly from last week.
