Trapped a hoverfly (Epistrophe elegans) in the kitchen yesterday and gave it some sugar/honey water to feed on so i could photograph it (#1).
It stopped feeding and moved a bit and then decided to have a wash and brushup so I continued to photograph it. I was then puzzled by a facial opening that appeared and disappeared (#2,#3 and animation). Had not noticed this when it was actually feeding. and not noticed this at all on any hoverfly before.
