My first dolichopid fly of the year and very luckily a flash resistant one allowing me many flash shots without flinching or taking off. All shots focus stacked using zerene.

Nice work. So many macro features in one species.

Thanks Harold
Yes they are one of the more photogenic species - if only they weren't so flash sensitive.
I've taken lots of photos of their legs as they disappear from the frame having been spooked by the TTL pre-flash
