Nice!
I'm sure that last one is a horse fly not a hover fly though. |

Shame the author goes on and on about how horrific they are - no way to encourage peoples' interest in wildlife. Also a shame that the proper names are not given nor some indication of what these beasts are up to and what the parts are that we're seeing - but perhaps that's in the book. Biggest shame that the harvester (Opiliones) is called a 'daddy-long-legs' - the USAmerican usage, I think.  Quote:

I don't know why you would use a scanning electron microscope for a lot of those shots when many posters on this forum could do a better job with a camera.
Looks like a pretty pointless publication to me.  |
