Thanks for sharing the photo! It’s great to see Eristalis tenax in the wetlands of Suárez Pond, Spain has such diverse habitats that make sightings like this really interesting. The Mediterranean coast around Granada seems like a perfect spot for observing these hoverflies. For context on Spain’s natural and regional diversity, this guide offers some interesting insights, https://gowithgui...guide-5686 .

Cheers!
