Just thought I'd listen what ways you use to take photographs of diptera or other bugs. I, myself have mostly used the hunting strategy, wandering about with my camera (with ringflash) and tripod ready to shot any insect that comes in my way. Now I'm more considering using traps and baits to get more photo possibilities and make the insects come to me instead of the other way around. To get photos of flies in their natural environment I suspect the first alternative is best. What strategy do you use?
