#1 and 3 look like Sphaerophoria scripta, a beautiful hoverfly and #2 is a dronefly, Eristalinus sp not so pretty but still a hoverfly. #1 is a super shot and my favourite Sara

Another amazing set - terrific detail

- is this just with a dedicated Macro lens?

Thanks These were taken with my 100mm macro lens with added 12mm extension tube. Flash was also used. I was probably about 10 inches or so away from the bugs.

Thanks Keith
