Spotted-Eyed Hoverfly (Eristalinus aeneus)

Another fascinating insect that really attracted my attention is the hoverfly that I found around the grass this afternoon. It was likely hiding from me, trying to hide under the grass but before it happened, I had to take some shots while the breeze kept coming. Known as hoverfly with large spotted eyes and numerous small spots can be seen on top of the eyes. It belongs to the family Syrphidae in the genus Eristalinus that generally inhabit coastal lagoons, ponds, slow-moving rivers, streams, and ditches.
