A hoverfly (Syrphidae family, possibly Syrphus opinator) on the Blueberry shrub. Beautiful insects, often mimicking bees, and the larvae of many species are voracious aphid predators. We keep alyssum, borage and relatives, buckwheat, and other pollen sources flowering to encourage garden allies like these 💚 #syrphidae #syrphidfly #hoverfly #gardenallies #biomimicry #urbangardening #polyculture #polyculturegardens #oregon
