well, it stopped raining late today so i went outside to see what i can find and spotted some of these insects, i've seen them in a book or on the net, but can i find it, no.(if anybody knows, please post the name, thank you)
First one is not cropped, had 68mm tubes on, the insect was about 3-4mm long, The 2nd one is to show the scale of the insect with some rain drops. the next 3 are cropped. C and C most welcome, thanks for viewing.:):):)

Some lovely shots there Hidden Forms. I like them all but I particularly like the second shot with the droplets on the leaf too. I don't know the species but it's certainly a fine looking fly! The eyes are very interesting. :)

Great shots you got there. Love the colors and the sharpness. Don't know what kind, but certainly looks like a fly :) .

Those racing stripes look painted on! I dont think we have such a fly in the UK and NZ has lots of unique wildlife. I would guess its of the Muscidae family (House flies & their relatives) from the body shape. Certainly distinctive.

Very nice, The water drops on the leaf look pretty neat as well. I think the last one is the best.

thanks for the kind comments nitsch, was wanting the insect to move closer to the rain drops but it didn't, and yes the eyes are very interesting.:)

Very nice, I like them, well lit and sharp.

Just out of interest, how did you light them, or is this natural light?

Thank you cmpowell for your comments, I used a flash with a diffuser (the canon 580EX) on a homemade flash bracket so the flash is in front of the lens, camera setting ISO100, 1/200sec, F13
