Wet hover fly (Syrphidae) on a thistle with a black background
It was raining so there’s a drop on its head. I used a strong camera flash and low ISO so the background became dark.

Marmalade hoverfly on pink flower macro photo
I caught a hoverfly on a pink flower. I used manual focus and focus highlights and took several shots and one came out very good. I forgot to set shutter speed to 1/160 so the edge of its eyes are a bit ghosted.

I placed a drop of water on a leaf and a Mother’s day bouquet behind. I then focused on the refracting flowers shining through the drop. Taken with a Sony A7C and a Laowa 85mm macro lens.

A bumblebee on a Lavender. It is not easy taking shots of insects which are feeding off of blossoms. They fly away to the next flower very quickly :-).
