Can't help with the ID, but great pic anyway!

[Chris Johnson]

Have no idea what he is but those green eyes do look amazing!

[Babs]

Fabulous close up. I have no idea what he is but Keith Porteous @kporte may be able to help you. He is the bug man on 365 and has a fantastic knowledge of every type of insect.

[Paula W]

No idea I'm afraid but it's a great shot of it, whatever it is!!! Wishing you all the very best for 2015 Robyn.

[Al Bailey]

Gorgeous!!! .... Happy New Year to you :)

[Dawn Ulmer]

Good detail.

[Keith Porteous]

Fabulous, looks a lot like a Soldier Fly but haven't seen one with eyes like that!

[Kathy]

Don't know what it is, but I do know the details are fantastic and you should be able to Google it really easily. I love those big green eyes. I think it looks a bit like a bee, looks like a stinger on his hinney!!! Anyway, the photo is fantastic and a huge FAV from me. Hope you get the ID on it!!

[Leah]

Fantastic detail on this macro shot!!! Nicely captured!!! Happy New Year, Robyn!!!

I am not an expert at bug Identification so can't help you, but you sure caught an awesome macro shot of this dude ;-)

[Catherine W.]

Awesome shot and cool eyes!!!

[Steve]

I don't know what it is but that is one awesome capture, so clear and nice detail. fav

[Maggie]

Great capture ...( I have spent all morning trying to get a good shot of a cicada) this may belong to the hoverfly family of which there are many thousands of varieties. They are harmless (although many of them mimic wasps with striped bodies) and beneficial to the garden as polinators or eaters of aphids.

@kerrynz @brigette @quietpurplehaze @thistle @denisefuller @pcoulson @sangwann @tonygig @hermann @landryta85 @pdulis @mittens @milaniet @lynnz @alia_801 @cjphoto @onewing @paulaw @willowdragon @deu49097 @cashew @lealady @bella_ss @smileclicksnap @lyndemc @nicoleterheide @bill_fe @juliac @debihas27 @cimes1 @wannabe @stevej Thanks for all the wonderful comments. This was my first attempt at a fly shot so I was quite happy with it. I think it was some kind of hoverfly as Maggie suggested and from the type of movement it had

[Robyn]

@kporte @snaphappi Thanks for the suggestions. I think it was some kind of hover fly from the movement but still am uncertain of more detailed identification
