You might think this is a fly but it in fact one of the unusual Clearwing Moths; in this case the Currant Clearwing, because it's larvae feed inside the stems of Currant bushes. It used to be a horticultural pest but with fewer allotments in the UK [and so less Blackcurrant bushes!] this diminutive beauty [about 10mm long] is becoming scarce. I was privileged to discover a colony on my neighbours currant bush :o)

So we are lucky, seeing this beauty. I like the end, with all those hair, a lot. Great shot, very clear.

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Wonderful day
That's one funky looking moth- great capture!! I love how the leaf is detailed and it makes a perfect background for the moth too!!!

If you were to shoot a mime, would you need a silencer?

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Weird bug man strikes again! Great focus, though not the best clarity. It's a tad blurry. But that can't always be helped. :-) Fantastic composition, though. Good work.

That's a real interesting bug and great story behind it. Was a tad blurry but I'm glad I got to see one. It has the most interesting features. I like it's tail feathers also. Thanks for sharing this.
