An unusual and interesting subject, at least for me, Charlie. I'm glad you provided the ID. The fly is well rendered, with the pof perfectly placed on the flower and the fly. Excellent detail in both. Excellent overall.

Great catch on this little guy and the flower, Charlie. Even the larger version looks good for 30% of FF.
