Hoverfly pics

I caught these frisky devils in the garden this morning. I had no idea they mated in mid air







Taken with the K10 using my 90mm Tamron Macro @ 4.5 1/90sec 100iso

I hope the one on top is watching where they're going, cos he's got his hands in front of her eyes.

Great shots again, Clarky. It amazes me how good your shots are bearing in mind the wide aperture - focusing has to be spot on, and when it's small things flying around...

The one on the bottom wasn't even flying but being carried along
I guess it was the female and she was a little frightened that is why he covered her eyes. Chivalry is not dead in the insect world

I am just experimenting with different apertures and shutter speeds trying too hit the perfect shot. Im not there yet but getting thier.
I think your hoverfly shot has got me obsessed
