Trying to film a Hoverfly and failing 20210402. Autofocus wouldn't react to the fast moving fly, so I tried choosing a fixed distance. I set the camera focus to manual and then tried to get that same distance between camera and fly. I failed.


Scientific name: Syrphidae

From RSPB site
Although these brightly-coloured insects look like bees or wasps, they are in fact true flies and do not sting. Hoverflies are excellent examples of Batesian mimicry (named after H W Bates who first described it in 1862). They generally mimic bees and wasps – insects that sting and also taste unpleasant, so are avoided by predators. Drone-flies mimic honey bees, Volucella bombylans, has several different forms mimicking bumblebees, while others species are very convincing wasp mimics.
