A jewel, and still sapphires and diamonds are dear. Fascinating, compelling, admirable. The focus fade on the wings is also lovely, as if a quilt has been settled on the fly's back. Nice light.

Ohh your comment makes me want to explain it...

In German, if we are quite sure something is going to happen, we say: Ich fresse einen Besen wenn.." which literally means: "I'll eat a broom, if..."
But I was pretty sure noboy would understand that so I was looking on an internet site for English idioms what might have a similar meaning and I got the suggestion: "I'll eat my hat if..."
Since I predicted a blue in my first comment during voting but your picture ended up with a yellow ribbon I felt obliged to say in a funny way that my prediciton didn't come true and now I should make my announcement (eating my hat) come true. That's it.

Incredible capture. Having had a go at insect macro photography myself (with some very kind tips from the master herself) I know how tricky it is to take a photo like this. The droplet is the cherry on the very nice cake. Congrats!
