Nice shot. Did you use any extension or crop at all?
Maybe some sort of bean fly?? We get lots of these around our vegie garden.
I think this is one of the same things?

Great detail and like the way the fly(?) is looking over the edge of the cliff...
The color is terrific, glowing...
185 macro?
EDIT: Doh! slaps head re: lens after reading closer...
