Observer

vynbos

Date

December 8, 2013

Place

Paardeberg, Malmesbury (Google, OSM)

Description

Orange-spotted Fuzz-bomb


Surprisingly large Bomby, the flowerhead it is on is around 30mm-40mm.
It flew from scabby to scabby methodically plunging its proboscis into each flower on the head, slowly rotating clockwise (or was it anti-clockwise?) until it has done each one, barely ever resting its wings.
