Fruit Fly

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 🙂

Blackfoot Daisy

When our last frost hit, wildflowers had already started sprouting and most were knocked back down. Disappointing but there are some flowers that survived…… like Blackfoot Daisies, for instance. This one is in my yard but I’ve already spotted several in the North Access of the Preserve. We had a wonderful soft rain all day yesterday which will be great for these and other flowers still to come. Captured with 100mm macro and 25mm extension tube.
