Polaroid SX70 SonarAutofocus + Impossible Project PX680 Color Protection Film w/ ND Filter

This fly was on a pear tree leaf when the flowers were in bloom the beginning of May. I wanted to get some pics of bees on the blowers, but it was too cold that morning and this fly was just so still on the leaf that I had lots of time to get this shot. Its head looks like an alien.

This is my Week 25 shot for the View 52 group. Am pleased my lovely Astrantia flowers are all blooming at the moment and are alive with bees and a few insects.

poor thing is missing a leg. i wanted to get even closer to him... but he kept moving and watching me - and this freaked me out a bit. i'm sure the camera and i were much more intimidating however. these are more commonly referred to as leaf-footed bugs.

any further information on an id will be gladly welcomed.
