Julian Phillips | Biologist | Insect Photography@julians_insects Tapered drone fly on ivy. (DE: Gemeine Keilfleckschwebfliege, Eristalis pertinax) This is a common hoverfly that starts life as a rat-tailed maggot – living in water and breathing through a long tube. 🪰❤️ Ivy is just starting to flower in our area and is attracting a lot of insects. Photographed on September 18, 2026, in Solingen, Germany. Have a great start to the new week! OM1 MarkII 90 mm ISO12800 f8.0 1/1250 s Single hand-held shot Not edited Just cropped #tapereddronefly #gemeinekeilfleckschwebfliege #éristaleopiniâtre #kegelbijvlieg #eristalispertinax
