Sexual dimorphism in Eristalis hoverflies

>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=hoFHg7tEfIk

Essentially, the male and female look different. These two Eristalis pertinax hoverflies were sitting on a leaf and it provided a good opportunity to compare them. In the male the eyes touch and the abdomen tapers, in the female the eyes are separated and the abdomen is broader, and she has an ovipositor. • Filmed on 27th March 2024. • #pollinators • #insects • #nature • #dimorphism • #hoverfly
