Thank you, JackHiDesc1234 , that’s very interesting subject. I’ve never seen such of insect before. Looks similar to mosquito. Where did you saw it ?
Thank you, JackIt's a parasitic fly whose larvae feeds on bee and wasp larvae. The proboscis draws pollen from flowers in th adult phase, so it's both a parasite and an important pollinator. It's common during the spring and flies like a hummingbird. I photographed several in a graveyard.
Indeed, Jack, I thought it was a smaller species of bumblebee the first time I saw one.Thanks for the infoDesc1234 . That's very useful information. I never knew that. You can be surprised what you can discover while shooting macro photography.
The smallest I have are hoverflies and water striders. I'm limited to a 100 mm, which only lets me get up to 30 cm, hence a necessity for larger crops.By the way, your photo could be great for a photo theme. A bit off topic, do yoiu have any other images of smaller insects?

Ok, Jack, I have thousands of files, which I'll be happy to share over time.Feel free to share it, I might create a photo theme, orHelix_2648 , or maybe both.
