Nikon D80 + Sigma 50mm Macro + SB-800 Speedlight
I first came across this species of fly about one year ago. They are very photogenic. This is only the second of these flies that I have seen this Summer, and with today’s fairly strong winds, which don’t make for good close-up shots, I feel I was lucky with this shot. By the way, if anyone has an ID for this species, I would like to know.
The fly was crawling on the lower cuff of my jeans (I rotated the image for a better effect). Lens used : Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro. Fantastic lens. Camera used : Pentax K10D. (Fantastic camera too!)
I made this for a group on flickr.. the exposure was already pretty dark so I just enhanced it and ran with it.. this was the result :)

Found this little guy on a dandelion,not sure who would like to have a large print of this critter,but I personally think on a dorm room wall would be a perfect place.
This hoverfly kept coming back for Happy Hour refills!
for those over 18 years of age only…
Ever seen a fly close up, it is quite a beautiful creature but hell annoying in Summer.
A hover fly is first on line at the Memorial Day Weekend gourmet buffet. First stop-the Rhododendron Dessert Cart !

A close-up of a large horsefly gathering pollen from a daisy. Image taken in Kinsmen Park, just north of Sault st. Marie, Ontario, Canada. / Captured with a Canon Rebel XSi with a 55-250mm lens. Despite their (well earned) reputation as vicious biting insects, adult horse flies actually feed on nectar and pollen. The reason horse flies bite is that females require a ‘blood’ meal for reproduction. The Daisy (Bellis perennis) is a common European species of Daisy, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name “Daisy”, so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as Common Daisy, Lawn Daisy or occasionally English daisy. It is native to western, central and northern Europe. The species is widely naturalized in North America, and also in South America. / It is a herbaceous plant with short creeping rhizomes and small rounded or spoon-shaped evergreen leaves 2–5 cm long, grows close to ground. The flowerheads are 2–3 cm in diameter, with white ray florets (often tipped red) and yellow disc florets; they are produced on leafless stems 2–10 cm (rarely 15 cm) tall. /

This image was taken with a D200 and the 18-55mm kit lens reversed at iso400 to give me a more up close image of the eyes of a fly.
