Hover fly (Mallota posticata)

Reveler Conservation Area

A head-on shot of the fly posted previously. Looks like it is ready to take on all comers :-) A good bumble bee mimic, too.

Sure looks like a "I dare you image." Another nice sharp macro image Christine.

it does seem confrontational...perhaps a good stance for survival...sharply observed and portrayed..

A superb closeup! I would have thought this was a bee...
