This hover fly was unable to land anywhere may be because its base was destroyed (btw is this hover fly?) this photo was really hard to focus !

Then it landed on Ants land and was moved to see owner of land

Owner was nice and did not mess with him

    these are some fantastic macros, Awais, great work!

    I really love this perspective:

    It's not often you can get a full profile of such a small subject, impossible to get a camera down to that level!

    Lovely shots Awais- #4 is brilliant :)
    Assume this was with a P&S camera from the DOF?
    Interesting the hover looks like Episyrphus balteatus - get them here and in the US.

    Great Macros Awais
    Looks like you're learning very fast. it's difficult to get the fly on the move.
