This one was very cooperative. I was able to gets lots of angles. However, although I could always get the eyes looking domed in the viewfinder, they always came out flattened.

Anyway, the golden thoracic hairs show well on this one, which was about half the size of the previous one, permitting use of the Printing Nikkor 105mm, with its FOV of 17.5mm.

Hand-held, with twin TTL Flash. Images cropped for composition.

Thanks, Kurt.

If only the wind would also keep still for me.

Thanks, Ron & Birdie.

This character almost seemed to want its photo taken.

It seems that Snipe flies are available in all sizes, to suit all macro lenses.

Thanks, Tim.

There is a resemblance but the antennae are reassuringly too short. Just as well, as it may be a small Snipe Fly but it would be a hefty mossie!

Thanks Brian,

I am now seeing them almost daily, mostly the brownish ones. I love the lateral thoracic morphology. I am having to carry my full range of favourite macro lenses into the garden now that insects are becoming plentiful.
