I saw this a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to identify it yet and would be pleased if someone recognizes it in addition to any other comments. Late afternoon natural light only. I happened to see it and went to get the camera... it stayed around a few minutes. I'm not sure if I like the wings being foward and the reflection of the wing on the eye but that was how this little creature posed.
Nikon D90, Sigma 150mm macro... hand held.
F7.1, ISO200, 1/200s
I left the flash off to avoid reflections and in Post Processing, I mainly cropped, levels and curves and slightly darkened the brightest reflection on the eye (enough?)
