This vibrant and charismatic insect, with its striking brindle-patterned body, showcases the intricate beauty that can be found in even the smallest creatures. Against the backdrop of Leicestershire's picturesque landscape, this adult hoverfly takes advantage of a warm August day to rest and rejuvenate.
