About A fly (probably an Ischiodon species) having a feast on daisy pollen. A common fly species occurring throughout Southern Africa.

Used the 105mm Nikon micro plus the Panagor macroconverter at maximum (about 3.8x lifesize) and the ringflash. Slightly cropped and brightness, contrast and sharpness adusted in PS (minimal).

Excellent results, Joggie. I am amazed that with the short working distance, you do not scare away the subject!

Hi Eb - Yes I do scare them away, often. Luckily they are very hungry and come back for more!
