  1. Nice 'action' shots there Roy! They seem to be having a good year, I've seen them in good numbers around the local patch...unlike the Butterflies?!...[;o[

  2. The proboscis is vicious, requiring the back toback approach I'd say.

  8. Hey Roy... Well now as the old song goes...bird do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it (don't know about the educated flea thing) :) etc.
    Good shots of what comes naturally!!!

  9. Fascinating little flies and interesting to see how they manage to reproduce given their somewhat oversized body-parts ;-)
