Episyrphus balteatus, sometimes called the marmalade hoverfly This rather tiny lil‘ fly was so kind this morning as to pose right in front of me while I had some coffee on my lil‘ loggia. It stayed for two minutes and I didn‘t have to get up to make a couple of shots. Thanks! Episyrphus balteatus,Geotagged,Germany,Marmalade Hover Fly,Summer Click/tap to enlarge
