One Last

Folks,

Am hoping that I dont get another robber fly, for the rest of the year. Its a different species from what I made earlier. This one was fast asleep, some dew on its eyes. I missed the moment when it woke up from sleep and buzzed away.

That's quite a pose, Balan, with it's tail up in the air like that. You've got some fine colors and excellent details here but I do wish it's eye wasn't partly blocked by the leg.

Certainly a fine series of robber fly images, Balan. Nice light and a clean look except for the leg covering a bit of the eye.

Hi Balan,

The leg in front of the eye is a minor nit--the colors and pose are spectacular. I've had poor luck getting shots of robber flies. With camera in hand I always get robbed of a shot by these guys
