Thanks Sophie :-)) This guy was so busy preening himself, he didn't seem to notice I was there!! I just moved in very very slowly, with the camera already set to macro.
what a fantastic colour he is. I actually hate flies, most creepy crawlies I cope with very well, some I'm quite fond of, but flies, they are an abomination. However....................seeing the detail on the wings, the colour of his body and even the little furry bit around his rear end makes me think even flies have redeeming features..............thanks Mitch, what a brilliant shot.
Thanks Loretta :-)) They may not be the most pleasant of creatures, but they make great subjects for macro shots. Since starting to take macros I've discovered there are a lot more types of fly than I realised.
Awesome macro shot! The colors are pretty. Have a great day!

DeleteIf this is the - what we call here - the june bug, it's very shiny, but I hate the sound they make!
