Hover fly on Blue sage

Amazing close up !!!

Great close up....Meadowland is right, does look like it's only got one wing

Cracking shot!

fabulous shot K..

I agree,it's a brilliant shot..love the blue sage..:o)

Amaxing pic! :)

Haha! I didn't notice that! No, honestly, it's got two wings...and it's not pinned to the flower...lol

You can't really see it there but, in my pictures, you can see the cell structure of its eye!

Now, I'll have to post the one of it with two wings....!

:)

No problem, J...I took six!!! lol!

Can you imagine what we'd look like if our eye-to-body size ratio was the same as theirs? !!!
Another super shot Karen - love 'em. :-))

No problem, J!I did it for you...! :)))

Muddy...as you know, they don't sting!! So you can get up close and personal!
But, you can still hold my hand, if you like...but only if you're wearing oven gloves!!!!!!! lol!!!!!! :))))))))))))

It must be 'ave a go at Muddy Day' today . . lol! :-)

Aw bless.. think you have had enough stick for today,Muddy...but tomorrow is another day ! Lol...sleep well..:o)

Aww, no...Muddy.... :(
If you hold my hand, I'll get a hornet! well maybe...!!! :)

If you're going for a Hornet close-up Karen, I need to wear a beekeepers suit! :-)

Very true, Muddy...I did try this morning...but my bravado was very, very short lived! Been stung once before...not good! :(

I understand that to be extremely painful and dangerous Karen - give the camera to someone else . . lol!

It certainly is, Muddy! One crawled up my leg and stung me when I was hanging out the washing! It was 2 months before the sting came out! OUCH!!

...Or...get that significant other person in your life to buy you a decent camera for Xmas! The campaign has begun in earnest.... ;))))

Eeeek!!!!!!!!

Ouch!!! Good luck with the campaign - if you need any supporters I'm sure you'll find many here . . lol! ;-)

Heehee, I know Muddy and thanks...they're already supporting me through my 'can't stop buying plants' addiction! A very common problem around here, lots of experience! lol!!! :)))))

haha not me i;ve no money lolol

I'm going to send you some seed pods before I go, Pix! :))

Well make sure there's nay beasties in them lolol thanks :)x

Okay! lol! :)))
