Description
on Inula hookeri.
This very handsome species of hoverfly need muddy water for the larva.
I keep a few shallow containers around the garden, in the hopes that the adults will lay in them. The pond is probably too clean!

This is a superb shot perfect match.
Never heard of anyone wishing for more flies before, but this is a beauty.
Such clarity!
beauty-shot !!
Magnificent macro! Leaving water around like that you must not experience Mosquito's there?
Wonderful clear shot, Andrea; love his striped waistcoat. And mosquitoes were my first thought too, we have it drummed into us to remove all standing water to keep them away. West Nile Virus is breaking out in places here and there have been many deaths from it!
What an absolutely stunning and beautiful shot Andrea, this is surely one of your best hover shots. How exciting to have the muddy pools around to try to preserve and increase the species, power to you!!!
