At first I thought this was the same type of insect, but I think yours in a cinch bug and my picture is a fish fly. Those are my arm hairs it's resting on by the way. :) Trout Creek Park Oct 2005.

That's a really clear shot. The bug looks like it is trying to tell you something! Nice one.

The bug is having a difficult time plodding through all that growth :) Good sharp shot.

Good camera work...juggling the camera as this beastie sucks the blood out of you!....

Thanks for 'thinking' of me as this wee fella feeds on you!...lol

It looks like what we call around here a "willow fly" or a "May fly" - they only live 24 hours. There are two kinds - the ones that hatch in the trees and fly to the water and then there are some that hatch in the water and fly away (usually making a mess of boats and boat houses as they get trapped in spiderwebs). When the hatch happens (usually mid June), the fishing is great. Best time to fly fish as you can cast and catch almost immediately and every cast you make. These little guys are super delicate, but very pretty. Thanks for sharing this great close up Alex.

I would say this shot cost you an "arm and a leg," but I would only be half right.
Great detail you captured with one hand.

Merry Christmas

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Alex - A sunny day - the fly is wearing sunglasses - or so it appears. Terrific capture. Thad
