First of all, please accept my apologies those folk who voted/commented on my earlier effort - The wasp simply wasn't good enough to share! (After seeing all the folk who visited and didn't comment I decided enough was enough and pulled it off!).

I am happier with this image! On my walk this morning I noticed the thistles were smothered with Hover Fly. I stood and watched, camera focused and ready, when along came another one! Smile

Great shot Karen, how do you get it so sharp with only 100 sutter speed, if I had taken it at 1000 it would not be as sharp as this. Well done.

A brilliant macro Karen, you've timed this one to perfection to catch the second hover coming in to land

Very good image - I spend hours watching the hovers - they fascinate me. I love the detail in the flower too.
