Yesterday I was trying to stir up some of the mothflies in my compost bin. If I thump the side of the plastic bin it gets some of them airborne. One or two may settle on the rim, where photographic options are best. Most fly out and away.
I saw where one of these went. I was one of the darker ones and it settlesdon the adjacent greenhouse glass at a handy height for some shots. Only when I got it framed and focused did I realise that it was my first ever winged psocopteran, a Barkfly.
I got three images, I didn't shoot a stereo pair but a couple are enough to differentiate the insect a bit more from the background than any single frame. The green in the background and foreground is algae on the surface of the glass.
EM-1, x2 TC (4/3) Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 at f11 (f22 effective), Raynox MSN-202 supplementary, twin flash, hand-held.
The images have been cropped for composition. The stereo is crosseye.
