Shake your booty beefly

Some beefly shots all taken in fairly strong natural light. In the second shot the beefly would not settle and the animated sequence shows what it was upto (dust collecting to camouflage it's eggs).

Thanks - not quite continuous shooting - was shooting single shot mode and taking a shot every .5 to 1 sec.

You seem to be able to keep the subjects in the same place for a decent length of time...:)

Is that a Hummingbird Moth Brian? Wonderful shots on a hard to photograph creature.

Ambrola - no just a beefly - Bombylius major.
