I'm rather disappointed with my camera's macro. This seems to be the best it can manage. At least you can see the characteristic row of dots along Cu1.
D. goritiensis breeds in seepages on coastal cliffs, in this case on the Menai Strait, North Wales. I'll put a habitat photo up in a minute - not sure how folks manage to put two photos in one posting.
Thanks to Susan for reducing the file size.

That wasn't very successful. I'll try again.

And with luck, here is the habitat. (Also the habitat of Paracraspedothrix monitvaga, Tachinidae.)

Hi John,
Is the the macro performance, or is it the lighting ? This kind of picture of a shiny subject on a shiny background is rather tricky anyway. Did you shoot in AF mode ?

Is AF autofocus? If so, mine doesn't have any other mode. That makes it hopeless for small items, as it is always the background that is in focus.
