Excellent macro Roberto, he is some sort of bee. I will look him up in my insect field guide and see if I can find out what type for you. Mind you my guide is for North American insects and I don't know if he will be in it.

Muito bom foco para uma bela imagem de história natural, Roberto.

Aqui na Europa e na América do Norte é facílimo achar vários tipos de guias de aves, insetos etc. para as espécies daqui. No Brasil eu procurei mas nao encontrei - uma pena!

7 +++++++++++++++++++ roberto, that it is the same insect that I photographed flying and neither he/she knew what was but I discovered in google:
Family: Sirphidae.
Name scientific: Eristalis tenax (I Line).
Name common: Dronefly
Fly of medium size to big, naked or with "hair", the adults are frequently in flowers where some are confused with bees for their general aspect. Vivid Color that can present fringes or yellow stains, orange has more than enough blue or black bottom. Big head with front projection; antennas of three segments. Eyes separated in the female ones and together in the males. Big thorax, rarely with sows. Normal paws, big wings. abdomen from 4 to 5 very defined segments.
Flight type: Their flight is characteristic to allow them to stop in the air and then fly quickly in any direction.
I add you my pic so you can see , god bless you

Lovely shot, Roberto. Quite sharp. Did you use F/32 or smaller here?

Looks like a cross between a fly and bee!! LOL
I don't know what it is either.
But it's FANTASTIC!
Very nice clarity, and details.

Nice work,
Have a GR8 day/evening!
Lori :)


Dave Stacey   {K:138126} 5/4/2005
Whatever it is, it's very colourful, Roberto! Great capture of it!
Dave.


James Bambery   {K:13421} 5/4/2005
Roberto, I looked in my book and could not make a match. The closest thing I could get it to is a hoverfly which is in the bee family but the markings of your critter are not the same.

great details and beautiful colors and compositions ,the close up filter did work very well here,very best regards my friend


Roberto Okamura   {K:22851} 5/4/2005
Olá Armando, pesquisei no google com o nome "Eristalis tenax" e veio várias fotografias deste inseto. Comparando as características de sua indicação com a minha foto do inseto, creio não é a mesma espécie mas é bem parecido, mas com alguas diferenças nos desenhos no corpo e a "Eristalis tenax" aparenta ser mais peluda.
Ainda estou tentando achar uma classificação mais precisa!
Bom quanto à uma foto boa e nítida de insetos voando, a um bom tempo tenho tentado das libélulas voando, mas ainda não consegui! Elas também estão me deixando louco!!! jejeje.
Grande abraço querido amigo e muito obrigado pelo suporte aqui no UF.
Roberto.


ARMANDO ALCÁZAR   {K:42316} 5/4/2005
?Estas completamente loco querido amigo, en el sitio donde fotografio a las moscas volando hay muchas libélulas , pero, no puedo acercarme a ellas son muy tímidas, si sacas una foto de una volando te merecerías todos los premios!!!!!!
