These tiny flies frequent my mistletoe bush in profusion. Each one on a separate leaf. This one was sheltering from a recent shower.

Hi David,
A well seen oppurtunity and an interesting image.

I think your composition is very effective David, really like the reflection of the righthand wing too.

Nicely framed David and like how the leaf is twisted to catch the light.
Whatever is the species of fly?

Major.

Hello David.

Lovely capture and would agree the strongest one yet in pictorial terms.
