Looks like it. There are 48 species in Sweden. If you want a species name, we'll need legs in focus from different angles, and a good view of the abdomen from behind, and a clear side view of the thorax. And a close-up of the radio-cubital node on the wing (ideally upper and lower sides). And a crisp shot of the mouthparts. Or we could call it a female Helina sp.  (And I really like your shots with the out of focus legs - saves such a lot of work!) Edited by Tony Irwin on 01-09-2006 20:45 Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

I'm still using the cameras preprogrammed macro config. Perhaps when I learn the camera better or can afford a good flash I'll get more DOF ... or I should move to Italy where the sun always shines  |

I defy anyone to look at your shot of Musca autumnalis in the gallery (http://www.dipter...oto_id=525) and say you're not a good photographer!
