Lovely series michael- like the hovers but the bubble blowing fly takes the prize for me.
Think the last shot is a scuttle fly (Phoridae) - pretty small and run around at fairly high speed. Reminds me of a hyaena

Very nice shots, wonderful detail and colors, Michael!

Especially nice the way we can see it sucking pollen with its tongue.

Great series!! specially the lighting.

What's with #6? It seems like the fly is floating without any shadow. I'm guessing the flash was parallel to the plane of the leaf so it barely cast any shadow.

really nice shots, Michael, all of 'em. I think I actually like the close-ups of the hover most of all.

Well, you certainly did the lone hover justice, Michael, but the bubble-blowing fly blows me away. Fantastic shot.
