About my best thus far!

Lovely shot of what I would guess at being one of the Syrphus species and it's a male.

OK - I can tell male and female spiders apart, but pray tell, how do you know its a male?

Stunning shot by the way. Wings are amazing.

I think the males eyes touch at the top?

Very nice capture, be pleased when it gets to that time again.


This site gives differences, but photo from the site given to show eyes of male top(closer together) than female bottom photos
