Description
Eupeodes luniger on Ageratum.
This hoverfly is a migratory species whose numbers are boosted by visitors from Southern Europe every summer.
I grew these pretty plants from seed this spring for the first time for about 40 years, and they are a great success. Blue is a colour that is in short supply in late summer, and they are also popular with the insects.
I'm not sure why, as I can't see much pollen, but then my sight is much worse than the flies.

This is fantastic love the color and close up of this one.
One of your best, I think. Great colors and details. I've always loved Ageratums.
Gorgeous capture Andrea. This is wonderfully crisp in detail.
Fantastic capture of both the fly and the Argeratum.
