    You did it, it's such a fun yet challenging game to capture a hover fly in mid-air! I managed it only once:

    Marmalade Hoverfly in mid air (macro) Check this one out in HD mode. This is a macro of a hover fly in mid air. I was photographing something else entirely when this hoverfly starting floating around my head, hovering almost still in intervals of a few seconds as they usually do. I awaited for his mid air pauzes a few times and each time I snapped as many as I could, using flash to keep a fast shutter speed. It took only 50 tries or so to get one really sharp.
