Description
This is the largest of the hoverflies in the UK and lays it's eggs in the nests of social wasps that build in tree cavities, including the Hornet.
I love to see them, they are so spectacular! The ivy flowers in my garden are a very popular food source this time of year.
Not as sharp as I would like, but it was probably 8 feet away and I only do hand held.

the blooming ivy attracks many insects; butterflies as well your hornet-shot is beautiful
Such a beautiful fly shot, Andrea :-)
you were only 8 feet away? I thought you got up close and personal with this shot
excellent
Lovely capture. As I have said before, I have hardly seen any this year.
Or you could call it Hoverflyus Gargantua because that's a big child. A spectacular capture.
good work
