Not sure about that! However it is a great close up of an insect, it has more colour than our flies over here that said. Nice shot Ken

Thanks Maureen, Barry, Dennis, and Bev for stopping and for the nice comments, Bev this shot was taken with a close up lens of 2x and maybe a setting of 300mm on the camera lens.

Ken, This is amazingly clear and in focus. Did you use stacking software to get it? Great shot anyway.
