Hoverfly Genera Volume 2

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 these 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.

Just added Neoascia (fen-flies), 30th May 2026.

Visit often to explore the captivating world of hoverflies. Take a closer look at the diversity across different genera, and consider how their clever adaptations aid survival—particularly in avoiding predators and ensuring their genes continue into the next generation.
