Thanks Michael456 wrote in post #18689935 Definitely pollen, and I don't think they're out of focus. Some flowers (like Malva, for example) have pretty large and whitish pollen. I have some shots of bees on Malva flowers - I can post one later when I'm at home.

You've had some interesting images of rather tatty wings. How bad does it get before they no longer function? That butterfly top photo looks like it's had a bite out of one wing. I believe the life expectancy of bees and bumble-bees is somewhere between 1-3 months(some live longer) so after a few weeks you start to see the first signs of decay. I don't know how much wing they can lose before they are no longer able to fly. We had a very warm, dry summer but lots of wind and many of flowers are gone to seed much earlier so I think the bugs are having a tough time.

Aug 22, 2018 17:22 | #643 Archibald wrote in post #18688972 That's an amazing stack, very sharp. And the fly looks like it is in flight. Thank you. I was happy with the results Helicon Focus was giving me until my license expired. I will be re-purchasing it w/ the lifetime license. Many of you love Zerene Stacker but I've been unable to try it for some reason, so it looks like I'll stick with Helicon. If I remember correctly the critter "in flight" was a type of bee, not fly. I mount the bug with a needle sticking out of a wine cork then clone it out later.
