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.

Or you could call it Hoverflyus Gargantua because that's a big child. A spectacular capture.
