Nice Macro Bill. Lovely detail there, has this been cropped at all, as it would have been nice to see the whole insect.

Have you considered uploading to the gallery to save people having to open a new window?

I have noticed that you always post thumbnails, dont you fancy taking advantage of the gallery?

Cheers,
Ben

It is a crop and for some reason I haven't kept the original, I assume I cropped it (it was taken in 2005) because the rest of the image was out of focus, due to shallow DOF.
Here's a full image of another hoverfly.

PS

I wasn't aware of a gallery, I'll have to explore it later.
