Amazing details as always! I like the colourful ones (from #3 and up) the most because the bg colours go very well with the colours of the flies nice angles as well!

Great set!

PS: It is best to number pictures when posting more than three, for easier reference.

Thanks Phil for the comments.

That first species will get quite common in the garden shortly - they are good fun - the males are territorial and always seek a fairly good perch - they will often settle on you or you camera which can be annoying but can persuaded to settle on an upward pointing finger
