Perspectives on Nature Photography
Toxomerus marginatus is the scientific name of this tiny bee fly that you see on the flower head of a prairie fleabane daisy, Erigeron modestus. When I say tiny, I mean tiny, at most a quarter of an inch (6mm).
Today’s double portrait is from February 11 at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
