I was still curious and I found a pic that looked similar. It is called a Marmalade Hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus. Not sure if that is what is in your picture though.


Doesn't look quite like a perfect match, but it's obviously VERY close!

I wrote a comment for each new photo. I greeted Barry. Hadn't seen him in a while. I was witty, informative, and charming (you have to take my word for it). Then I tried to post a pic from google. My computer froze. Everything was lost. I said a few dirty words. (Not charming, but I'm good at dirty words.)

I'm back. Thanks to all for the great pics.

@Roberta,
Talk about your dirty words. Who the hell is this dame. She doesn't look a thing like the possums I picked out.

Snarling. And sorry, gang.

@Roberta,
So funny! Brightened up my day when I clicked onto Beautiful Animals and saw your unusual possum - a young Asian Dame Edna Everage perhaps?

Another great mutt face. If this photo turns into some babe dancing the hula, I'm quitting.

@vonny,
If that's Edna Everage then "she's" been on a diet AND had a face lift ;-)

@vonny,
Oh my god, she looked at me! Wolodja, the young male polar bear at the Berlin-Friedrichsfelde Zoo, was brought from Moscow to be the mate for the zoo's female, Tonja. But so far, he doesn't appear to be much of ladies man, er, bear.

These are all from: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2013/aug/23/week-in-wildlife-in-pictures#/?picture=415685986&index=0
There are 20 pics in the series, so plenty left to look at on the site.

Flocks of gnus are seen during their migration trip in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, on 17 August. When grass withers at Serengeti National Park in north Tanzania, flocks of gnus, zebras and antelopes living there start their annual migration to Masai Mara National Wild Reserve in Kenya.
