thanks mate... I hadn't see this type around either so chased it from bush to bush waiting for it to stay still... lucky to get this shot off and then it was gone.
very painful experience photographing something so dark with the midday sun.
cheers

Mean looking fly isn't it.
Most of these are hard to get to sit still.
I'm glad you are patient Xerubus.
Regards Colin

Amazing. You're doing some fantastic work with that macro lens. It's making me REALLY want one. I'm going on a trip to the Snowy Mountains in a couple of months and I hope to see a lot of detail I can point a marco at!!
Cheers.
