It is a stunning little critter and you've nailed the eyes.

I'm not convinced it's a dance fly though.

Unfortunately, I've no idea what it actually is.

Obviously spends a lot of time looking up.... great capture and superb detail on the eyes, please don't tell me you took it with your phone.

Cheers Simon, I think it is one of the Empis species but like all these things I'm open to surgestions on what it may be.

No I used the Panny fz38 and raynox msn 202, it was a tiny fly about 5mm I would say.

cracking shot...fantastic detail.

Great eye and back detail Alby.

I guess at the working distance you would have had, not too much DOF available?

Cheers

I would have guessed dance fly, although I'm certainly no expert. Great shot Alby.

Aah, perhaps my idea of what a dance fly is could well be wrong.

I always admire your work and remember the stacking images you did with the MPE-65.

Awesome photography as always!

Yes Tim I am sure it is a Empis but as to which one would be anyone's guess. Thanks for passing by

Lot of species of dance, dagger and ballonflies in this group so not the easiest to sort.
