Taking a break from the posting of birds and butterflies to featuring this cute little guy, a Syrphid Fly (Copestylum marginatum). You will find these important pollinators hovering around flowers. Syrphid Fly larvae are voracious predators of aphids and other pests. They`re good to have around.

I failed to photograph the Coppery-tailed trogon, but I did capture a Sulphur-bellied flycatcher in flight on a recent trip to Madera Canyon, Arizona. I don`t think that is a bad trade-off.

A Sulphur-bellied flycatcher (Myiodynastes luteiventris). Photograph captured at Madera Canyon, Arizona. Your best chance of seeing one of these in the U.S. is going to be in Southern Arizona. #animalovers #birdinghotspot #birdphotography #maderacanyon

A puddling Mourning Cloak butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa). Puddling is a behavior where butterflies gather on moist areas that researchers believe is for the purpose of obtaining important nutrients that are missing from their sugar rich nectar diets.
