Studio Volunteer

By Adrian D. Thysse | Published 30 September, 2009

I have just returned from a 5 day trip to the Banff section of the Icefields Parkway. I based myself at the Rampart Creek campground, and the most visible and prolific late season insect there was this hoverfly (Family Syrphidae, probably an Eristalis sp.). Many volunteered for duty by landing on and in my white studio, so I took advantage of them…
