Marmalade Hoverfly

This colorful little insect is one of many species of hoverfly that mostly occur in Indonesia and is one of the few hoverflies that is considered a common garden visitor but I found this one calmy standing on the leaf in the wilderness. Perhaps, it took a rest after hunting the nectar from flat-topped wildflowers. It is a small, orange, and black banded with red eyes hoverfly and is widespread and very common. As may all know that hoverflies are regarded as useful insects in the gardens, including this one, feed on aphids.
