Okay, not too exciting, but I did find a Moth Fly to photo while looking for subjects for my macro endeavors:

Lovely capture. I'm always amazed that these can actually fly.

Thank you Brian. Yes, it does seem a bit too furry for flight.

Great shot.

I think for small bugs flying is more like swimming through a viscous liquid due to the differences in flow dynamics at small scale, not that I am an expert.
