Bug on flower

This is one of my favorite macro shots that I have taken, however I am still working at improving. Also, does anyone know of a good website to help with the identification of bugs. I am finding all kinds of neat and wonderful little creatures, but have no idea what they are called.

Lovely shot - it's one of the hoverflies (they don't sting).
Think you would be better off getting a general Insect guide book for your country/area but there are lots of ID sites on the web - think http://bugguide.net/node/view/15740 is good for US bugs.

very nice hover shot, like the light on the wings

the watermark too distracting, not needed

As for the watermark, I sell motorcycle photos, and the racers tend to steal the photos, even with right-click protection, so i have to make it as unappealing as possible to them. But thanks for mentioning it, because it will be my project next weekend, to make a nicer, more appealing watermark for my other pictures.

And thanks for all the comments/feedback. It is appreciated.
