Not often a chance to capture these as they rarely settle on a flower. This creature is sucking up nectar from this dandelion.
A true fly not a bee.

Wonderful shot Jess, we've lots over here but never managed to capture one - as you say they never seem to stay still for a moment...must try harder!
