Male fly manners

Post by Erland »

This pair of hover flies was doing the naughty stuff, and while I photographed, the male jump forward and stepped on the females eyes. Rude in my opinion, guess fly manners differ somewhat from human's.

canon 10D, sigma150, sigma 140 flash, very slightly cropped.

I've been away from forum for a while, hope you enjoy the photo. Still too cold for macro around here :-)

Thank you Mike, glad you like the photo.
I'm preparing for next seasons macrophotographing by ordering a 5D soon, not because I need it at all, but because I love photographing :D
