Spot Eyed Hoverfly (Eristalinus) | 10% Beneficiary to shy-fox
Another fascinating group of insects that I found in the bushes near the public street is the hoverfly. It is regarded as an insect that often brightly colored and mostly found in the garden which becomes one of the familiar insects that lives around us. Having black and yellow markings which sometimes makes us difficult to differentiate them from bees and wasps. Nevertheless, this hoverfly often amazes me with the color, especially the eyes with the smallest spot. Considering, this hoverfly is categorized as a harmless insect, so I did not have to worry about the sting.
Besides having a fascinating appearance, the hoverfly is one of the important pollinators of flowering plants in a variety of ecosystems worldwide that frequently visits a wide range of plants, including agricultural crops, and is often considered as the second-most important group of pollinators after wild bees. This typical hoverfly has patterned eyes with obvious black spots. Many hoverflies larvae feed on pest insects, including aphids and the leafhoppers, which spread some diseases such as the curly top. This hoverfly belongs to the family Syrphidae, in the genus Eristalinus.
Eristalinus is a genus of hoverfly. Most species have very distinctive eye marking in the form of spots or banding, though these features may fade on some preserved specimens. Most are stout flies, and are nimble flyers, even compared to other hoverfly species.source

Thank you!
Your macrophotography is excellent, but a little dark.
Or maybe you like dark pictures.
Thanks, and kindly show me which part is dark.
I think the background of the image is a little dark.
In my opinion, brighter is very good.
But the picture you show is really amazing my friend.
This fly is a unique fly, because this fly perches on flowers, and this fly does not carry diseases like flies in general, I usually find it in gardens where flowers are blooming, and you take pictures from several angles, it's good, just lighting and background the background of the image is less colorful, it looks like it will be more beautiful if the background is light green, I like your picture.
Lovely 📸🤩👍
