熱いねこは太鼓と写真が好き Hot-Cat loves congas and photos

台風で放射状に倒れた磯菊を煉瓦で支えて起こしておいたら、同心円状に花が並んだ。いつもは、全体が半球状になるのだが、これだと、根元の若葉にも陽が当たり、風通しも良い。

Since the IsoKiku fallen radially by the typhoon had been supported by brick, flowers arranged in concentrically. Always the flowers become a semi-spherical shape, but not in spherical this year, and the young leaves receive sunlight also at the base, ventilation is also good.

人の気配で逃げてしまうのだが、上手く近づくことができた。縞花虻（しまはなあぶ）である。花の蜜や花粉を餌にしている。体にも花粉がついている。

蜂に似ているが、蝿に近い。蜂は翅が４枚だが、虻は翅が２枚退化して２枚しかない。蜂は蟻に翅が付いたような姿でくびれがあるが、虻は寸胴である。蜂の眼に比べ虻の眼は大きい、頭のほとんどが眼のように見える。

Flower fly (horsefly) escapes by the human sign, but this time I was able to approach well to flower fly. This is a Shima-hana-abu (Eristalis cerealis, flower fly). Food of this insect is a flower of nectar and pollen. Pollen is also adhered to the body of this insect. This is similar to bee, but it is a species close to the fly. Wings of the bee's four, but the flower fly's wings are only two because two of the wing is degenerates. Bees have a constriction in appearance, such as with a wing to ants, but there is no constriction in the flower fly. Eyes of flower fly compared to the eyes of the bee are large, most of the head looks like the eye.
