Image:Volucella September 2007-3.jpg, not featured

•  Info Volucella zonaria is one the largest and most beautiful hoverflies (Syrphidae). This one is about 25mm long and finally agreed to cooperate after some weeks of chase. In this vue I like the compositiom and the colour contrast between the insect and the backgroud. Created and nominated by Alvesgaspar --Alvesgaspar 13:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
