Canon 1DX Canon 180mm macro ISO 3200 1/125 sec f11
I saw these two flies on a rose bush in the back garden but I am unsuccessful in getting close to an ID. I assume they are ovipositing.
All C&C welcome.

They could be large rose sawfly (arge pagana)

Glad to be of help.
And I forgot to say how impressive the quality of the image is - getting two flies in equal focus even at f11 ain't easy.
Really like how both the flies are in focus, nice background. Wonder what it would look like flipped the other way so the flies are facing up.
Hi Jon,
Wonderful focus on the flies and I love those orange abdomens. Pleasing BG and nice colors all around. Well done.

Yup - Sawflies (which are actually a type of stingless wasp and not a fly at all). The photo looks like it was well worth the crick in your neck - excellent sharpness, soft light, good comp, and a pleasing background!
