Unidentified hoverfly

(High quality original available - please enquire)

This sleeping individual was photographed through the thick glass of a patio door, just after dawn on what was to become an extremely hot summer's day. Illumination was provided by a Sony HVL-LRAM ringlight. Close cropping has ensured that reflections from the latter are not visible. I'm quite pleased with this image considering the low shutter speed used. This was the best of about 30 shots I took using the camera hand held and set to IS1.
