My husband catched (with the camera) a little hoverfly labouring on the Crocus pulchellus:


Some time ago I have thought that these are some kind of wasps, and one has to be careful with them. I learned from Ian Young's bulblog that hoverflies (Syrphus)  are very useful insects. They pollinate our flowers and their larvae eat aphids. And do not bite at all. So they are very welcomed on our balcony. :)
