just googled 'wierd fly' and came up that this is in the family of tingidae or a lace bug.

Wow, looks very cool indeed. Nice find :)

I only do careful levels/crop/NR/colorba​lance, if needed. Thats just my philosophy, to each his own.
You're welcome to check my photoart (fotokonst in swedish) at http://sebastianfoto.s​e/ (external link)
Its swedish, but just press the menu at top for cathegories and view the photos.
I have a Canon S3 with two Raynox closeup lenses.

cool bug, I have seen a few Spear Thistle Lace bugs but they are not as pretty as this one.
