 a miracle getting this photo .. i've never seen these blowflies in the grass .. they are usually on the sandy path or on a log .. which is not as photogenic as being in the grass .. which is my favourite place to photograph insects ..
thankyou little snail parasitic blowfly .. :)

after rollover ..
thankyou everyone for your votes and comments ..

when i saw the other photos in this challenge i was positive this wouldn't receive a ribbon ..
so it was a wonderful surprise ..

congratulations to everyone else who entered .. not just those ribbon hogs .. lol .. ;)

This is amazing. His yellow face almost looks like some sort of synthetic fabric, but I mean that in a really good way. I don̢۪t know if it̢۪s your editing, but the details are beautiful. I̢۪m really loving the soft focus on the feet and wings. I feel this probably is the blue.

Roz, I assume. One of your best yet. What a beautiful creature with such an atrocious sounding name, lol!
