SBG: Colourful eye bug series

tchuanye · 19th April 2005

Saw this swarm of flies? or bugs over this flower.....found the eyes very colourful....first time seeing it. I think I just saw someone post this same fly/bug pic recently. Anyone know the ID?

Anyway, took these with FZ10+Nikon 6T + Sigma CU lens (bought this for my 70-300mm APO Sigma lens long ago), reverse lens where stated. F8, ISO 50, ext flash bounce/direct for reverse lens.

Appreciate any critique.Thanks.
