I don’t know if this is a fly or a wasp. He is less than a centimetre long and took no notice of me whatsoever. I will be of to the library tomorrow to find out what he is.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.
Nice Macro. I dont quit eknow what he is either. Let me know when you find out. It looks like he is looking at you and thinking I am not moving so take your photo and get on out of here.

We're probably talking something in the Family Syrphidae here, a "flower fly." That narrows it down to about 1000 species. They are useful in the garden because their larvae eat potentially harmful insects. Stunningly sharp image!!!

This is a fantastic shot. Mercy. What detail of an insect. I don't normally use such compositions for desktops but this one I will. I don't think it's a wasp. I see no stinger. Weird insect. Great capture.

Whatever this 'beastie' is it is a wonderful shot of it. That you have captured such detail of such a tiny creature is amazing. The clarity is striking. Love it.

Great shot -- the angle, the simple background. I wish I have your eyes for small details. This and your other macro shots are impressive.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I say what I say because that is my honest opinion. I don't kiss ass because I find that gross and repulsive.
Thank you Jennifer and Joe.
