Yellow dung fly on forget-me-not

These pretty golden flies have an unfortunate name! They are pretty common right now and I've found them on fruit trees, maples and of course, Forget-me-not. Indeed, this plant is attracting an abundance of insects including syrphid flies, sweat bees and nomada bees, in addition to this fly.

So beautiful, backlit on this tiny blue flower that I am speechless. A really remarkable capture, great detail and composition, but definitely a little work of art!! VVV
