You 'saw a fly'!? Such wonderful lines and colours, Andrea. Clive
Wonderful shot
EXCELLENT CAPTURE
It is indeed a Turnip sawfly Andrea, I once had a shot of one of these face on on Queen Ann lace, I will try to see if I can dig it out and rework it, mind you, it may be one of the ones I lost in a HD failure :{ Athalia rosea to give it it's rightful name, great shot too!!
Superb clarity and overall ambience in this macro, Andrea. I'm still envious of the gigantic windfall of insect life forms you have easy access to.
