Hovers and the Apple Blossom

Paul Iddon

As the warm weather comes along, tha apple blossom is in full bloom and the hordes of hoverflies that are aroud my garden are now happily landing on the flowers and hopefully pollinating so as to supply me with lots of lovely fruit in the summer.

Here is one sat on the blossom.

Good one Paul. Lovely wing detail on the drone fly.
Always think the pollenation done by all the other bugs (apart from honey bees) is underrated.
