Hoverfly on Sow Thistle

Hoverfly on Sow Thistle
Taken yesterday, 10 August 2012, when five of us spent a few hours botanizing the Elbow Valley Estates. This area is on the western edge of Calgary, just off Highway 8. It was the first time some of us had been there - always nice to explore a new area, recording every species of flora and fauna that we find.

Sow Thistle is a noxious weed. Not sure if this is Annual or Perennial Sow Thistle but, either way, this little Hoverfly was making good use of it.
