Sat in the garden all day today. Took lots of pics. Lying on my back I managed to capture this Hoverfly! It wasn't easy, the buggers keep darting about just as you get the focus sorted! 120 wing beats a second apparently?

Am I right in thinking that the old folk call these Hoverflies Jaspers?

I thought I was quite clever capturing this hoverfly in the hover, the buggers don't stay still long enough to focus!!
