Cheers Paul. Appreciate the kind words. Really have used the photos you post to work on my approach to more "macro"-ish shots (as compared to my normal landscape)

I've found that by forcing myself to try something new every week I've really grown my skill set and find myself really really enjoying taking photos any chance I can get

Not sure what type of fly - but I thought it was just brown until I blipped the flash and edited the image.


Just 2mm in size, it needed all 3 tubes on the camera at it's closest focusing point to make it any reasonable size.

Meanwhile, here is the cropped detail.



And full size:

I've always been curious what the full size image looks like. Thanks for sharing that one.

Psychodidae or Moth Flies are small true flies (Diptera) with short, hairy bodies and wings giving them a "furry" moth-like appearance. This is a species with whitish wings which are held parallel to each other rather than diverging and with a pronounced black transverse shade.







Commonly known as a springtail, these creatures can grow to 4mm long. The densely pigmented often yellowish third abdominal segment is characteristic, although the level of pigmentation is somewhat variable. They grow to around 4 mm so are just about recognisable with the naked eye. All the Orchesella species can have non-symmetrical antennae, possibly due to damage earlier in their life.

The Herald Moth, Scoliopteryx libatrix, the first one recorded in my garden ever, so a nice find.
