Two pic's of this, I'm thinking wasp. It's very tiny. The second pic is focused on the tiny anthers of the flower where the 'wasp' is collecting nectar.
Any ideas?
hoverfly?
Hoverfly :)
I run away from wasps but I wouldn't run from that. I agree Hoverfly.
Yep, definitely a hoverfly.
Beautiful pictures! :) May I ask what kind of camera you used?
They also eat aphids - gardeners' friend

I have a few 35mm film cam's but got myself a Sony P5 a few years back. Takes really good 'point and shoot' pics but I love photography and being able to post pic's, especially macro stuff, so I saved up my money from my £2.80p an hour jobby and splashed out on a DigiSLR.
Canon was what I had in mind, but having used the Canon 450, plus having a stock of Minolta lenses I opted for the new Sony Alpha 100. I'm very pleased I did. It handles better than the latest Canon and takes all my Minolta lenses. Up to now I can't fault it and would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of going DigiSLR.
Thank you very much for the info. ;) I'd love to be able to take beautiful pictures like yours. I have a Pentax Optio bought several years ago and it doesn't take lenses. I can't get good pictures with it - nowhere near as good as yours! Then I'm not very familiar with photography so I may be doing things wrong... Your pics inspired me, I feel like learning photography now. :)
