Gypsophylla.

Very pretty has this got a tinge of pink to it, I give up what is this insect?

Lovely. Who is your guest?

Oh Toto you asking me ? Birds and butterflies ok with but hoping insects more your area of expertise ..

Pretty.

Cool close-up Bonkers ! Chop, Chop Toto..., let us know what it is man, I'm dieing of curiosity now !

Aye Flower looked like a giant hover fly but those legs seemed so long ..confused as thought insects had six legs this seemed to have 8 ..

It's all that good food you've been feeding them !...lol

its def an insect and does like like a hoverfly, there arent any 8 legged arachnids that fly.

Perhaps just the way i was looking at it then SBG .. this seemed much larger than the hover flies we usually get and those legs much longer do hover flies vary in size ?

Shame though thought I had found a flying spider lol

yes there are different species of hover flies. flying spiders now there's a scary thought.
