Nice shot! Isn't it frustrating that wildlife doesn't come with a sign to identify it too ;) I'm fairly certain he's a fly of some kind (big eyes, suction cup proboscis), not sure which exact species though - if the stripes on the eye aren't a reflection I feel they'll really help in making an identification... DOF is excellent, and focus is spot on. I'm wondering whether the colour balance is a little bit orangish though - that may simply be a matter of the marigold throwing me off the scent though! Well captured :-D

I dont know what this is, but you captured it well. It almost reminds me of a tiny elephant.
Thanks for posting

Jolie composition avec la couleur orange si agréable. Moi aussi la tête de l'insecte m'a fait penser à une trompe d'éléphant miniature ;-)
Nice !

Most definitely a fly and I have no idea in an ID. It's a fantastic shot. The colours and details are very good. I love it.

Whatever it is, it sure has a long snout, maybe an elephant e? LOL. VERy good capture. though!
Lets call it the stripped ellie fly!
Darren though I'm not sure I think this could be a horse fly or cleg. It looks a lot like our Philoliche Zonata. I hope it would help. Great shot by the way!

It looks very curious. Anyway the contrast of his body color and the flower is good. The details make the day!

Darren, Excellent shot with superb detail at this size. Good side-view displaying the subjects mouth-parts in the act of feeding in this sea of color! Great job!

Appart from the nice colours and detail that you show in your photo, I always say I like the ones that take me to other worlds, and this is one of them.
