Don't know about the fly(looks like fancy dress :p) but this is a shieldbug, they come in different colours.

Managed to get one of these little bees in flight, with its 'saddlebag' pollen sac clearly visible. At least, I think that's what it is. Am I right?

That is what I have always thought those sacks on their sides are but I am anything but an expert

Yes, you are right.

It's been so hot and dry lately that these 22 Spot Ladybugs are about the only target in my yard, and they are still mating even though it's September.

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to about 2.5x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering with -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order.

How big is your diffuser now? If you care to share a photo it would be interesting to see but appreciate if you want to keep it under your hat

I'm interested too, you're lighting ls getting better and better!

It's only 50% bigger than the original. What's really making the difference is how I layered the internal sheets of 1/4 stop white China silk (keeping the details under wraps at the moment).
