With its delicate hind leg delicately poised on a leaf, this adult hoverfly showcases an extraordinary talent - cleaning its eye! Who needs cotton swabs when you have built-in self-care tools? This industrious insect takes multitasking to new heights as it meticulously tends to its visual hygiene. With precision and finesse, it skillfully removes any pesky debris that may obstruct its view of the world. As spring breathes life into the English countryside, our little hoverfly friend embraces the temperate climate and buzzes about freely.
