Photos are amazing
Hartmut your photos are amazing. Could you share your equipment and camera settings so others might attempt to duplicate this and add to the local knowledge of insect fauna through this site?

Thanks, Alison -
The beauty is really in those little animals.
As you know, it takes much time, some luck, patience, perseverance, etc.
This photo was taken with my Nikon D-300, using the AF-S 105mm NIKKOR; shutter 1/500 and f/16. This is a relatively small fly, ~5mm. The female was a bit bigger, ~7mm.
