Mostly flies
Here are a selection of macro photos that I took mid June. They are mostly flies. But a beetle also sneaked in.
And in this first one – I guess a snail did!

The green in the background of this hoverfly shot is card to take away the black background from the flash used.

No idea of the species of the fly – so I named the shot by its eye colour.
Red Eye Fly
Here’s the tiny beetle shot that sneaked into the set.

And finally this almost black hoverfly – the white band in the middle giving it its common name – Great Pied Hoverfly
