Red and Yellow Marmalade - _TNY_8692

This very helpful female marmalade hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) was most accomodating when I wanted to test my new flash diffuser setup and stayed very still at the center of a flower while I could mess with settings and flash intensity. This was taken at 3.9:1 magnification using the Canon MP-E65mm.
