    As usual an excellent shot - How do you get such crystal sharp photo's

    Great shots, Brian. Really like #2. Just goes to show what a small change in angle can do for getting more in focus.

    I love the second shot Brian the wings are just beautiful.
    Love the detail clap.gif in the wings they make me think of Fairy Wings.

    Very nice Brian thumb.gif

    Your moth fly looks a bit different to the ones we get down here.

    Thanks for looking and commenting everyone :)- much appreciated.

    Job3210 - in this case a lot of practice and focus stacking.

    GaryT - yes you are right but apart from the reflection in #2 I actually prefer the angle in #1

    Picturthis - the tiny fly would have been around 2" or less in front of the lens.

    BigAl - think my one looks a bit cleaner :) - no seriously there are quite a few species of these moth flies some with quite nice wing markings as in your case.
