Fruit Fly

by marianne skov jensen on March 24, 2011

Here’s another shot from our rainy day Monday. This fly on the Blackfoot Daisy was about an 1/8th of an inch long. I used my 100mm Macro with a 25mm extension tube to capture him and then cropped the image to enlarge him more. I haven’t been able to ID him yet but based on his patterned wings, green eyes and especially his size, my guess is he’s a fruit fly of some kind. I don’t have fruit trees so maybe he was just getting a drink of water 🙂

    Thanks Judy and Bryan! You should have seen me taking this. I was balancing an umbrella over me and the camera at the time 🙂
