<i>Allograpta obliqua</i>. I've always loved the beauty of the hoverfly, and I'm very happy about getting this shot.  I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.  I was considering the daises for photo possibilities, when I noticed this guy hovering.  Two shots was all I got (no time for lens or setting adjustments) - the other one was junk.
