Small Hover Fly on Flower

I'm afraid I'm not sure what the flower is (possibly a variety of Dahlia)? If anyone knows I'd be grateful.

Please view large if you have time.........thank you.

I think you're right Keith, it looks like a dahlia I had once. The detail you have captured in the flower, the leaves and the hover fly is wonderful! I love the out of focus background which you do so well with your flower and insect pictures. The colours are gorgeous as well :-)

I hope you have a good weekend, whatever the weather!

I was going to suggest a dahlia, but you've already done that - so I'll just agree with you. The delicate picture of the hover fly is brilliant.

Es ist immer schön, ein Insekt auf einer Blüte zu sehen. Die Schwebflieg hast du perfekt getroffen!
Was mich ganz besonders fasziniert an dieser Aufnahme ist, dass du die Blüte quasi im Querschnitt fotografiert hast. Die Farbverläufe und Strukturen unterhalb der Blüte sind einfach so schön. Eine klasse Aufnahme, Keith!
