This Helophilus Hoverfly was in our conservatory and getting a bit tired trying to find its way out. So much so it seemed to welcome sitting on my finger quite a lot.

Time for a quick rub of the legs (yes my finger nails are a mess, I bite them hehe)

Could this be a blue sky paradise? Nope it's just a Finding Nemo DVD case... Hover reaching round to get that itch

Then it went on Safari and met a Snow Leopard and a Polar bear (the little'uns Deadly 60 Lego)... Dangerous business this being an apparently giant hover fly.

Rescued but not out of danger yet

...before being released back into the garden where it sat with what was almost a look of gratitude on its face, before flying away.
