A bit of cheating involved- trap hoverfly with glass and card. Stick suitably sugar/honey laced "rest" with blu-tac to wheelie bin lid. Wait for hover to land on side of glass, remove card and place glass over the rest. Put suitable background card behind card. wait a couple of mins for hover to find the food, Remove glass and start shooting. The hover was comfortable enough to allow me to revolve the rest for different angles. Not sure I'm entirely comfortable with trapping the bugs outside but you can get interesting results and it does them no harm.
First 6 shots focus stacked using zerene.
