Polona, this fly brings to mind our local -Yellow Jacket- wasp, a fitting color. Very nice. _m

You can make a yellow jacket look sweet! I feel happy for him sitting on that pretty rose.

syrphid flies -- nectar eaters. They help the bees pollinate flowers AND their larva eat aphids. They are also lovely to look at -- as is your photo.

Crafty Green Poet said...

beautiful moment!

polona said...

tikkis: both, i reckon ;)
thanks

neikka: hvala ti.

get zapped: thank you for looking in.
yes i am, but only just...

theelementary: it's nothing as potentially dangerous as a yellow jacket,just a benign fly skillful in mimicry :)
thank you

quilly: true and thank you on behalf of everybody for a mini entomology lesson :o)

juliet: thank you.

Your flies look kind of like our bees. Fly or bee...Lovely!

Polona, your photography is wonderful. Smile. My friend, Chewy (Back of my headboard blog) also is an artist/photographer and creates haikus - perhaps you may enjoy each others sites?

polona said...

elena: well, these flies use mimicry to look like bees which, for the predators, is a sign they are inedible :)

shrinky: thank you for your kind words.
i shall look for your friend's blog :)
