My pet hoverfly [View all]

As my wife went inside a clothing store, I amused myself by ‘taming’ this here hoverfly, which I enticed into landing on my fingertip several times, as though it became ‘our’ routine. Each time it t landed, I could feel the proboscis gently palpating my skin. I could feel it despite the incredibly small size. Thanks, little guy, for allowing me to capture an image of those amazing iridescent wings.
