A shadow couple for Smile on Saturday "Crazy Couples"! I spotted this photo opportunity one evening at RHS Hyde hall. This couple were having a picnic on the other side of the tent wall and the evening sun cast their shadow silhouettes just as you see them here! Happy "Smile On Saturday" everyone and have a great weekend!

The Pellucid Hoverfly can be found in most wooded areas in the UK. It's shape and size are very bumblebee-like. The name "pellucid" literally means translucently clear, and if you catch this hoverfly in a certain light you can see right through its middle. The other popular common name for this hoverfly is the "Great Pied Hoverfly" on account of its black and white colouring. The larvae of Pellucid Hoverflies live inside the underground nests of common wasps.
