EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by the talented Bob Gibbons, we witness a moment of pure bliss for our tiny protagonist, the Lesser Hornet Hoverfly (Volucella inanis). Against the picturesque backdrop of Dorset, England, this vibrant hoverfly indulges in a delectable feast on a bramble flower. With its striking yellow and black stripes resembling those of its namesake hornets, this adult hoverfly effortlessly hovers mid-air while savoring every drop of nectar. Its delicate wings flutter gracefully as it delicately balances on the intricate petals. As August paints the English countryside with an array of colorful blooms, our little hero takes full advantage. This charming insect showcases nature's harmonious relationship between pollinators and flowers. The brambles provide sustenance to both insects and wildlife alike. The photo captures not only the beauty but also highlights the crucial role that these fascinating creatures play in maintaining ecological balance. As summer fills the air with warmth and life, hoverflies like our friend here become essential ambassadors for pollination. So next time you stumble upon a blooming bramble patch or spot one of these enchanting hoverflies buzzing around your garden, take a moment to appreciate their tireless efforts in keeping our world abuzz with natural wonders!
