Beautiful shots Bill - I see you are also getting hooked on the hoverflies :-)
Nice detail with the eye facets.

I can never understand how you guys are getting so close to these things. I have a 28-200 but I never get this close without them flying away :*(

thank you Linda i'm shooting them more cause there seem to be more of those around me beside all the leaf hopper now. but they are easier for me too.

TwistedGray i'm getting close to them by sitting still and wait for them to fly back find out they usually don't go too far if you sit and wait.
