Beautiful Hover Butt!

Beautiful Hover Butt!
This was what I saw when I bent down to look at these flowers. Check out this beautiful HOVER BUTT! :D This guy was about an inch long, definitely in the B-52 Bomber category! What a sound this one made, quite menacing actually, though I know it wouldn't hurt me!

Thanks to Leapfrog (Art) for identifying this as a Dronefly or European Hoverfly!

I really struggled about which picture should be Picture of the Day. I wanted to put this one up, but Steve thought the other one was the stronger choice. I don't know...do you have an opinion? :D
