Episyrphus balteatus, commonly known as the marmalade hoverfly, is a small, yellow and black banded fly mimicking the appearance of bees or wasps. These beneficial insects are crucial pollinators and known for their larvae's voracious appetite for aphids, making them valuable for natural pest control in gardens and crops.

One of my personal challenges has been to capture a bee in flight with an iPhone and olloclip lens attachment. I remember mentioning it to someone and they said something like “good luck with that”, but I accomplished it! Here it is! Keep challenging yourself to go farther! It probably is possible!
