I saw this little fly by the garden pond this summer but I haven't a clue regards species.

No idea of secies Jon but certanly unusual. Reckon you'd have been better offat 16 at least- lacking a bit on the thorax.

Unusual it is! Don't know if it's in mid-step but it conveys an interesting action to me.

I'd have a look at reducing the brighter areas a little, as the bottom of the stem pulls my eye out of the frame.

Interesting pose, plus nice comp and background! With all the robust spines on the back and abdomen, I wonder if this is one of the Tachinid flies (Family Tachinidae)?

Definitely not something I would want to land on me! Nice details, definitely an interesting pose!

Ditto John Robinson on the near-thorax being o-o-f..... Otherwise pretty neat. a
