I've only seen this species once before at Yackandandah. These two were hovering at eye level on the track. Impossible to see their wings. they looked like two tiny balls floating in space. I moved them with my hand closer to the plant so I could get some kind of focus on them. Hoverflies? Beeflies? They are quite pretty!
