Hoverfly

Post by Guppy »

Hi

This hoverfly with a body length of 15 mm has no extremely long hairs, but very many small ones, these also over the whole eye.
Therefore, the compound eye appears somewhat restless in some places.

It's got a very nice soft feeling in the face. The antennae are beautifully lit!
