Your photos are much better. Congrats, Walter. New gear?
Nice fly. Never saw this genus.

Thanks for the answers! @ Jorge: I changed the way the flash lightens the insect. My biggest problem was the shadow under the insect. Now it is a bit better. I also started to use Raynox lenses instead of reversed lens. Have a look at my
nature photo blog, I have a post about the gear I use nowadays!

This may well be
meridionale indeed, with a little cf.
