  They may be pretty, but they hurt. The first one is full of blood, probably from one of my dogs ears. The images were taken of a live bug on a white building which was purposefully overexposed.

  Wow the gut on that thing full of blood, I bet they dang well hurt when they grab hold of you........ and those eyeeeeeeees, how colourful are they.
  I gotta keep my eyes open when I got to USA .......I won't know where to look, the trees, the sky, the ground, the hills, the mountains, the waters, the plants ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I'll be ...gawd which lens do I need now

  I have a love-hate relationship with deer flies; I hate them, they love me. Fantastic shots Mark, love the eye details!

  i hate bugs
  welcome to dgrin, mark. i've always admired your extreme macro stuff - so well done, and these are no exception.
  
  i was in home depot today, buying, among other things, some wasp killer spray, when i got stung by a ... wasp, right there in the pesticide aisle.
  
  thanks for sharing your stuff with us, looking forward to more!

  mplonsky, this is a really nice closeup. I wonder if the deerflies here are different, they dont look like this. The top view looks more elike a triangle and the wings more like a moth. And yes, they hurt alot when they bite, hehe. They like to swarm me when I go fishing *one reason why I do it just once a year*.

  Perhaps this was the wasps preventive measure to prevent his cousins from getting killed? :0) At least you know none of the pesticide cans had a leak, hehe
