What great detail you got here! Lucky you for him finally landing and staying still long enough for you to catch him. Great info too!

Wow... I'm going to have to try my 100-400mm for some of these shots. Nice capture.

Wow - rare to see a bee look so submissive (or is it dead - grin!) Again the eyes of the Fly look like cut stones - amazing.

Comment by posthumous:
good macro. the closeup of barbed? wire makes an unusual, disconcerting setting for this creature. You emphasize this with your composition, which puts the fly to one side and the barb to the other. Great detail on the fly and interesting light. This sort of skillful, competent work gets you a 6. To get higher, I need to be interested or involved in the photo in some way.

Very cool how the wasp closes the loop to form the triangle of sorts. The eye looks like a cut jewel - never knew that of wasps before.

I think you are mistaken, Greg. He's a real wasp. :>) Nice macro, though a little bright on the highlights (probably due to the time of day). Interesting composition - almost a full circle.

OHmy!!! Between you and Roz, I am so looking forward to an up close and personal look at that fire trail. This is awesome! Except now I'm even more sick that I can't afford a macro lens for a while yet. :)
