Couple of photogenic flies

Well, one of them is at any rate. And, it's not the first one.

#1 Semi-handsome greenbottle fly having a clean

#2 This is the very photogenic IMHO Orthonevra nitida hoverfly

Then on some greenery not far away, I was somewhat saddened to find one not doing well.

Very photogenic flies, Kenny. Nicely done.

These photos are great!!1 It is funny how we somehow get attatched, or feel bad about the subjects we photograph. I know I feel that way about my 2 wasp nests. I am painting my house, and I am painting around them so I can watch them as they go through the summer.

Once again WOW!! I was blown away by the first shot, but then I scrolled down to the hoverfly shots. Amazing detail, colors & lighting. Very well done Kenny.

Wow, I can not wait to get good enough to take photos like that. Do you set up on a flower and just wait for them to come and land?

Unusual eyes. Great shots.

Kenny you the man!!! You know you got me lookin' for one of them "cool eyed" flies now....got to be the neatest one I've ever seen!

Thanks folks, appreciate the comments.

Ronnie, if I know that they are feeding on a particular type of flower, yeah, I just sit down on a camp stool and wait. They'll show up.
