Gnat On A Hot Tin Roof

Several weeks ago, in a series of sessions, I was trying to get a good set of images of non-biting midges in my garden.
Occasionally, I would see a green one, the first on my black car. I got to be able to recognise the presence of both species on the car from several paces away. That is how I spotted this one, on the car roof on a hot, sunny day. It seems that it was feeding on some sticky substance (honeydew) and had died there. The roof was too hot to rest my hands on for more than a second or two.
I am fairly sure that I used my Printing Nikkor 105mm and twin flash. The stereo potential seemed considerable. I present a cross-eye pair.

Thanks, Brian.
Thanks. 2 is just one of the stereo pair, so it is not additional, just displayed larger.
