Cluster fly on Basil

This was taken with a reversed 50mm lens fitted to a PB 5 Bellows unit (looks like this www.flickr.com/photos/195898574@N08/53135131999/in/datepo... ).

It is set to the minimum magnification. The subject was in a homemade light box and was lit with both natural light and a LED fill. I think the fly is injured and thus reluctant to move. I have done my best to ID the fly and my ID is based mainly around colour, the stripes on the thorax and the shape of the eyes. It was found on a Basil leaf growing in our kitchen.

 

 

Thanks for looking.
