hoverfly having breakfast (4 shots)

this little guy was obviously pretty hungry

all taken with a Sigma 105 with extension tubes (had all 65mm on but the lens was set at varying magnifications in each shot) all 1/200 ISO 100 f/10.. with diffused ringflash for lighting...

I wonder what these taste like

Nice series, I especially like #1 and #4, well done.

thanks Dave

Lovely series- looks like a pregnant Melanostoma scalare (one of the few hovers I can identify because of the green halteres).
