Will that be a short back and sides?

As usual an excellent shot - How do you get such crystal sharp photo's

Great shots, Brian. Really like #2. Just goes to show what a small change in angle can do for getting more in focus.

I dont think a brush and comb is gonna do much for it somehow :rofl
I love the second shot Brian the wings are just beautiful.
Love the detail :clap in the wings they make me think of Fairy Wings.

Thanks for sharing :thumb .... Skippy :D

Wicked looking moth, Brian.

Very nice Brian :thumb

Your moth fly looks a bit different to the ones we get down here.

Thanks for looking and commenting everyone :)- much appreciated.

Job3210 - in this case a lot of practice and focus stacking.

GaryT - yes you are right but apart from the reflection in #2 I actually prefer the angle in #1

Picturthis - the tiny fly would have been around 2" or less in front of the lens.

BigAl - think my one looks a bit cleaner :) - no seriously there are quite a few species of these moth flies some with quite nice wing markings as in your case.
