Episyrphus balteatus

or the 'Marmalade Fly'.

Lots of bee action around here at the moment. Rather than add to it, I thought it's only fair to give some time to Hoverflies and their very pesky mimicry.

In other news, I started knitting an afghan blanket yesterday. I made my very first knit bobble! I was so proud of myself, although I think I may be a little sad really.
