Hoverflies hovering pics.

[Africa]

Great shots Janet! I have a tip of how to get this elusive Eristalis.
1) Find your first Painted lady of the year feeding on buddleia
2) take 40 photos plus of the mentioned butterfly, with shaky hands,
3) download, and find the hovering Eristalis in them, .

I dont know whats wrong - its the changed new WAB method of attaching instead of via copy and paste as before from my Gallery or images - must be me, i'll get the hang of it........

Lol! Good one Africa!

Ken, Iused to do something like that when I had the flashing indicator in the wrong place I think! Try again but make sure you have first placed the indicator below your typing, then open the Library Images, single click on the pic and Bob's your uncle!

Or tell me where to find it and I'll put it up, lol!
