One way to "treat" harlequin ladybirds- turn them into marbles



Dirty bluebottle fly



Dung flies





Hoverfly Syrphus torvus I think

That second dungfly shot is absolutely stunning, Brian!

All great, but the second to last is particularly nifty. I have never seen a shot like that before.

Thanks for the comments - appreciated.

The 2nd dungfly was bubble blowing - most flies seem to do this at one time or another.

Nah, Brian doesn't get close, he's only 1/2 inch tall and is using a zoom lens for these heheh.

Nah, seriously good shots again Brian. Love the fly blowing the bubble. As always your detail, DoF and Colours are amazing.
