Decked out for all to see. Like it Jeff.
Wonderful image!
Who's a husky fellow then? So its not my imagination. I would keep my small dog inside today. A superb image, crisp and detailed.
Nice closeup.
Stupendous capture! makes me think of the old B-movie, Monsters from Green Hell.
It is huge and it did catch me off guard with the size! An exceptional shot my friend!
Saw this and thought, I do not want to see this in real life!! Thank you for sharing this Awesome Creature!!!
I love how his wings reflect the colors of the surrounding foliage.
Beautiful shot and Hoverfly :-)
Oh boy, what a whopper, never seen one before ... Thanks for sharing!
Nice find he looks like he had a close shave at some time with those bits out of his wing.
Wonderful pic Jeff
Great close-up
Wonderful shot, Jeff. The diversity and multitude of species of hoverflies always amazes me. This one looks very large indeed.
cool shot from I hoover fly tried many times to capture them in flight but I never succeeded
This specimen looks really huge. Another new immigrant? An excellent and interesting shot Jeff.
Stunning capture my friend. God bless.
