A Hoverfly Having His Last Supper
by JeroenW Waardenburg (jwbg)

Camera:

Panasonic Lumix FZ-50

Location:

Amersfoort

Photographer Notes:

A raynox DCR-250 lens was used to take this shot. Since the winter is coming in here in the Netherlands, I was surprised to see this hoverfly feeding on a flower of the Hedra helix. Must have been his last snack....
