Seethru - _TNY_3555S2
I am usure why, but for some reason the abdomen of this female banded thintail (Meliscaeva cinctella) on a great masterwort (Astrantia major) in my garden lit up and became translucent in this shot.
Not that I am complaining - it looks super-cool to me. Also, it chose to sit still for a little longer so I was able to take a second shot where the left wing was in focus and then combined the two into a single photo using Photoshop for a little more depth of field.
This is actually the same species as I captured here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54588835195/
