RHINGIA CAMPESTR
This is one has a crazy long tongue, didn't know what the heck it was at first.
Close up of it supping
SPHAEROPHORIA CONTIGUA
A slim handsome fly, contrasting nicely with its blossom background
SYRITTA PIPIENS
This one is easy to ID becuase of its fat bottomed abdomen. I hope.
Long abdomen as well, bold patterning
Eatin' some tansy
Check out the thicker upper part of its hind pair of legs
It looks like it's wearing goofy big hollywood sunglasses

Makin' babies
Doin' it buggy style
Acrobatic amor

Very clear wings
Landing to feed

Very round then pointed intricately patterned abdomen
Oh hallo!

TOXOMERUS MARGINATA
Wee wasp mimic
Also sports intricately patterned abdomen but not as pointed as geminatus
Wide wing spread
Preparing for take off. Or posing for me.
Side view of how wee ones are made.
Looks like a fish from this angle
Meeting of the abdomens, sorry if it's a bit graphic, it's science!
Merged, note female bigger and on bottom as usual
Bug pancakes.
