Couldn't get over the long legs and how the fly can angle them to get at the different plants of the flower.
The angled knee in the lower picture is extraordinary, particularly with the laid back stretch as well..
Two above that show how high it can project itself. A bit like a cat stretching or an old citroen safari with the air suspension.
Just managed a picture of the back legs extended. They are very quick to tuck them in when they land on something.
Large Bee-fly - Bombylius major supping on the Celandines.
Bee-fly life cycle form the Dipterists forum
Most amazing the way the females load the eggs with dirt to camouflage the eggs and make them heavier.
This allows the female to flick them into the burrows of Solitary Mining bees.
The hatched Bee-fly larva then eat the larva of the Mining bees

Nodding avens, cure all, drooping avens, water flower, indian chocolate
Orange Ladybird - Halyzia sedecimguttata
Apparently closely associated with Ancient Woodland in the past. Likes to feed on the mildew associated with Sycamores. But it's range is increasing as it has adapted to feed on Ash.
