Description A close-up of a large horsefly gathering pollen from a daisy.Image taken in Kinsmen Park, just north of Sault st. Marie, Ontario, Canada.Captured with a Canon Rebel XSi with a 55-250mm lens.Despite their (well earned) reputation as vicious biting insects, adult horse flies actually feed on nectar and pollen. The reason horse flies bite is that females require a blood meal for reproduction.The Daisy (Bellis perennis) is a common European species of Daisy, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name Daisy, so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as Common Daisy, Lawn Daisy or occasionally English daisy. It is native to western, central and northern Europe. The species is widely naturalized in North America, and also in South America.It is a herbaceous plant with short creeping rhizomes and small rounded or spoon-shaped evergreen leaves 25 cm long, grows close to ground. The flowerheads are 23 cm in diameter, with white ray florets (often tipped red) and yellow disc florets; they are produced on leafless stems 210 cm (rarely 15 cm) tall.
Alyce Taylor, Lethbridge, Alberta Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement I am an amateur photographer living in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.
I enjoy photographing the wonders of the world around me; whether that means capturing images of animals and wildlife, scenic natural landscapes, or man-made wonders.
I travel all over Canada in pursuit of this passion and my dream is to one day be able to do this full-time.
Thank you for your interest in my work, Alyce Taylor
