Macro: Hoverfly / Schwebfliege

avatar

The Hoverflies are true flying artists. They master the hover flight perfectly and can stand in the air, as well as fly forwards and backwards.

Die Schwebfliegen sind wahre Flugkünstler. Sie beherrschen sowohl den Schweb- oder Schwirrflug perfekt und können in der Luft stehen, als auch können sie vorwärts und rückwärts fliegen.

Because the hoverflies feed on nectar and pollen, they are among the most important pollinators in addition to bees.

Weil sich die Schwebfliegen von Nektar und Pollen ernähren, zählen sie neben den Bienen zu den wichtigsten Bestäubern.

There are a few different species of hoverflies. Because most of them look very similar, I do not dare to commit myself to a specific name, although I think it might be a Marmalade Hoverfly / Episyrphus balteatus.

Von den Schwebfliegen gibt es einige verschiedene Arten. Weil sich die meisten ziemlich ähnlich sehen, traue ich mich nicht, mich tauf einen bestimmten Namen festzulegen, obwohl ich mir denke, dass es sich um eine Hainschwebfliege handeln dürfte.

Na, das ist doch mal etwas anderes als das ständige "Insekt auf Blüte", das man hier ständig sieht. Insekt auf Stengel ist ja gleich ganz was anderen. ;)

Ich mache nur Spaß. Mir gefallen die Bilder, sie sind richtig klasse gemacht.

Jetzt bin ich mal überrascht, dass der Beitrag online ist, denn auf Steempeak habe ich ihn zwar für heute Abend terminisiert, aber dort war er dann im Bereich "Error" abgelegt und also nicht online. Nachdem Steemit noch immer nicht läuft, habe ich nun ein paar andere Frontends durchprobiert und auf einmal sehe ich, dass Palnet funktioniert und die Schwebfliege online ist ;)

Egal, ich danke dir für deinen Spaß und doch netten Kommentar 😊

Das Komische dabei ist, das ich für morgen ein weiteres Insektenmakro vorbereitet habe, wo im Einleitungssatz "... niemand will Insektenmakros auf Blumen sehen ..." steht 😉

Mal sehen, ob das über Palnet auch funktioniert: !BEER

Es geht wieder, die Pause ist vorbei, und der Beitrag ist nun auch auf Steemit. Die Welt ist wieder in Ordnung 😀

Vielen Dank, dass dir die kleine Fliege gefällt, Kadna.

Heute Abend gibt's dann wieder Insekt auf Blume, weil jeder diese Fotos so mag 😎

3 tries to reply on Steempeak didn't work, but maybe this one on photostreem:

The comment is here 😊 but not on Steemit. Since a few minutes Steempeak is showing the comments and my latest post. Before that palnet.io and photostreem.com have been online. Hopefully Steemit and everything else will be working again soon, because somehow it all is confusing me ;)

Thank you very much that you like the hoverfly, JJ 😊

I hope, you have had a good time without Steeming ;) I have used the time for family and for editing some photos :)

Steempeak shows my post from yesterday (Hoverfly) and the latest comments.

Your lunch time is my dinner time, and I do also hope, that everything will be fine by then, because it is frustrating the way it is now, as you say :(

It's just a rainbow, we have seen last Sunday evening, when my son and I drove around the lake. In nature it looked much more colorful, but I didn't want to overdo it in Lightroom.

No, you will see - they are very decent photos, and when we photographed it, the rainbow was not so intense anymore, than it was when we saw it first.

As far as I know, they are living quite worldwide, but maybe they don't get noticed, because they look like wasps or bees, as you say.
Thanks for your comment.

I love bees most of all insects, but the hoverflies are somehow very beautiful when you look closer at them. Their big eyes are amazing, and I try always to photograph one when it hovers in front of me, but I have never managed to get a sharp photo.

Oh yes, hoverflies look amazing withbtheir big eyes.
I love bees too and they are always busy buzzing. The big challenge for me was the close-up of wasp.

Bees and all other insects are easier to photograph early in the morning, when it is not so warm and they move a bit slower.

That was a scheduled post via Steempeak, but Steempeak said, it didn't get online and I found it under the "Error" tab.
Something must have gone wrong and right at the same time, because this morning the hoverfly was on Palnet, then I found it on Photostreem and later on Steempeak and now it is also on Steemit - I don't mind ;)

These Hoverflies are always busy as bees, and if you are fast enough you can even photograph them in flight, when they are standing still in the air, but I have never managed to make such a shot.

Thank you, that you like the macros, @janton 😊
