Hoverfly at Rest

Hoverfly at Rest
After wolfing down pollen from many flowers, this hoverfly moved over to a stem to rest, stretch its legs and carefully clean its proboscis. I am totally thrilled that I was able to get these nice pictures today, and I have several more that turned out nicely as well. Don't you just love it when that happens?!! :D

Explored on July 17, 2013. Highest placement, page 3.
