Hoverfly Genera Volume 1

Acrostic Hoverfly Postcards

Each slide explores a different genus: The genus name is split such that each letter forms a sentence, highlighting unique features of the incredible syrphids within each group, posted alongside artwork and habitat preferences.

All the photographs and artwork featured are my own, making this a truly personal project.

Drop in often and immerse yourself in the wonderful world of hoverflies. Explore the diversity within each genus, and reflect on how their unique adaptations help them survive—especially by evading predators and increasing their chances of passing their genes on to future generations.
