Hi Deb, Jenny, and Paul,
Thanks for your wonderful comments!

Paul, I used my Canon 100mm macro lens.

Now this is an up-close macro and hope it, whatever "it" is, that there's no stinger attached :-)!! Excellent detail and catch, Lani!! Love that 100mm Macro too!!
Aloha no,

Mahalo for your comments, Stan! I have other photos of these insects and they don't seem to have any stinger.

Aloha, Lani #2052497

Excellent macro Lani, I'm pretty sure this is a Hover Fly, they mimic alot of bee activities but they don't have a stinger! #2052958

Hi Lani,
This is fabulous! Laurence Saliba has a great one up too. Can't remember what he called it. I'll try to find the link.
I just got a 60mm Nikon but wish I had 100! Ah, this tech lust never ends.

Great work! #2615583
