C.Rayz's photos with the keyword: Phasia hemiptera

Someday I'll find time to dig through the sites to ID these..lol Thanks to Roger for the ID of Phasia hemiptera.

This guy has a damaged wing, and was walking up the footpath, when I reached down he gladly came onto my finger and was very happy it would seem to be off the ground, as any self respecting hoverfly would be! We left him on this bramble to sun and hope he can make his way to some nectar. Update: Thanks to Alby for correcting my ID on this Tachnid Fly, not a hover, I still imagine anything with wings perfers not to walk...lol
