Description
First time I have captured a Dance Fly. Cool looking creatures. Pretty small, about 6-9mm. Gotta love that head of big eyes and the proboscis gathering pollen. They also feed on other small flying insects from what I have read.
Treat yourself and ZOOM!!!!
Thanks for looking and any comments.

Now there's something I don't see every day. I don't think I've ever seen one of these! What a find! I love the colors and the shape of this little person is quite fascinating. There's a whole lotta flight-muscle in that thorax! What a beauty!
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
Great great great !!!!!
Very unique.
An amazing photo.
Outstanding and very interesting macro. Fantastic details!!
I am so glad they eat pollen not human blood! That is a serious proboscis! In reply to your question about our little Scorpion flies, no they don't sting people.
Thank you
fantastic macro-capture !!
oh yes... zoom is a treat !
Fantastic macro of this alien-like insect. The yellow of the flower provides such a great backdrop...
Outstanding capture !!!
Fabulous photo!
I don't think that I have ever seen one of these and it is a treat to zoom in on this one. An excellent capture inside that flower!
A new insect for me, and another outstanding image!!
Thanks all... New one for me too!
Great shot and a strange bug.
Amazing close up
