Walnut Husk Fly, Heesch, Netherlands

Happy to capture the species but disappointed with the experience. This is my "distance shot" which I always take before getting closer. With the 2:1 macro on, I was planning to capture the extraordinary details and colors of this fly but I spooked it and that was the end of it.

This species is originally from North America, now invasive in Europe. It was first spotted in the Netherlands in 2015.

    Nice to add the species and I like the shot. You once mentioned to me about taking distance shots and I have done it ever since. It's a great idea to at least register the species, in case it gets scared off. Posted 3 years ago

      Thank you. Especially with a lot of megapixels, a distance shot with some cropping can still give "some" result. Posted 3 years ago
