Another shot taken in my neighbours garden a few weeks back. This hoverfly seems to almost have hairy armour lol.

Wow this is gorgeous, the very reason why I want to own an SLR and a macro lens! To take close-ups as good as this! Well done.

Remarkable detail. Like Caz, I wish I had a macro that could do this too! Well captured and presented.

Well this is excellent Helen! with the finest of details and nice and close to show up all the little hairy bits so well! This looks like one of the "Sun fly" variety of hoverfly with the sort of "mint humbug" markings on the thorax Smile
You got the focus point spot-on for this one!
Very well done,
Kind regards
Vic.

Stunning details, especially around the eye. The lighting on the body is really eye catching.

Hi Helen,
Either you have dug all the plants up in your garden or you have a no fly zone as all your shots are taken at your neighbours LOL.
Nice capture of this chap, good colours and details.
Well done

Very nice indeed Helen, the background really shows the subject off.


The insect is sharp with focus on the eye, really great capture.


thanks
