Not sure which specific fly is this, but it looks fantasic. And it looks like its mouth is open and ready to eat the (blurred) ant in front of it (as if it would) ^_^
Vegetal lice destroyed it unfortunately.
Fatermetű kövirózsacserje, csak sajnos , tetves lett és már nem ilyen szép.b>
I was going to delete this because of the very shallow DoF but it makes me smile. This tiny fly was watching me for ages and it was almost like he was posing for the camera!!

Unfortunately I have not yet had time to identify this little green guy. The eyes are just so crazy and those wings! The white is from a plastic tub. Shot this one with a 2x teleconverter and the 100mm macro. Natural light.
The flower is an hypericum. This was seen in the Sensory Garden in Hesketh Park, Southport. It's virtually a wild garden, left to go to seed and it looks after itself. It's not tidy and as a consequence is full of wildlife! I love it as it is only a couple of minutes walk from home. PERFECT!

hoverfly in ground cover plant (flower?) in a favorite neighborhood garden. this little side garden is composed of bromiliads and other exotic low level plants and is usually relatively dark. the early morning shots i take of it often result in dark bluish backgrounds that have an eerie feel about them.
MacroMonday's: Wet
Tried something a little different because I couldn't think of anything beside a water drop for the topic "Wet".
Milk Explosion: Directions: In a bowl of milk add 1 drop of red, blue, and yellow food coloring. Next add 1 drop of dish soap. As soon as you add the dish soap a wonderful explosion of colors and swirls begin! What fun!!

Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand--Weaver ants sometimes called green ants make their home in the trees and bushes. They bend leaves into tent like structures and glue the seams together with 'silk' that they squeeze from their larva. This ant is extending to grasp another leaf to make another tent.
