Greetings,
My first serious attempt at insect photography. Find this in my garden. Looks like a mosquito to me. Any idea? Comments and critics please. Enjoy...

Lovely captures.
Not a mosquito but a dolichopid (long legged) fly.

Greetings,
Thanks. Taking insect macro photography not only challenging, but also have to endure mosquitoes bites. But, it fun anywhere. Liewwk, you have very good eyes for those 'micron', great photos. Enjoy...
