Hoverfly on Orchid

Found an old picture in a forgotten folder. Deserved a new edit.Image

I was just working with the angles for a close-up of the (in Denmark) rare Pyramidal Orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis) when this nice hoverfly landed in my field of view. Probably a species of Syrphus.

Nice shot. It's great when you get the opportunity for a spontaneous shot while you are preparing for a "planned" photograph.

Yes, and this is probably more interesting than the planned shot. Is it a pollinator?
