Hoverflies feasting on fennel

For a certain space of the day, these fennel flowers were teeming with busy hover flies - two varieties visible here. Although they resemble wasps - for their own protection - once you know they are harmless they appear safely fascinating. For close-ups, see TM0025 : Hoverfly cousins and TM0025 : Larger hover fly.
