Animal India - Episyrphus Balteatus

An Observation Of A Marmalade Hoverfly (Episyrphus Balteatus) Feeding On Nectar From A Rosa Chinensis 'Old Blush', Or The Monthly Rose Flower. Hoverflies Are Important Pollinators, Sometimes Even More Effective Than Bees. They Prefer Small Clustered Flowers, And Crops Like Carrots Rely On Them For Pollination, They Also Help Boost Strawberry Production. This Photo Was Taken At Tehatta, West Bengal, India, On March 10, 2025. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
