Naturally Neon

I think this is a hoverfly and he looked orange to me when I first saw him but now I see he has several bright colors! He is quite small (less than 1/2"- 2cms) and was nice enough to stick around while I went back inside to fetch my camera.

Hi there! I was like "Katy shot a bug macro?" Yes! She did and a great one too! Hope is right... Long legged fly! Fav! I just picked up police report and am waiting for Dan to meet me to take it into rental place. They said I would have to sign something (even if report said I was not at fault) so I want Dan to double check what I am
Signing. :0) it is great they got the report ready so fast! The driver who caused it told police he had plenty of time to stop but his brakes failed. The police wrote they questioned that since there was a skid mark line on road about ten feet long. They charged him with following too closely. His insurance is Alfa. Ever heard of them? Anyway.. I am out getting it all settled so probably good we
Postponed our visit.

Cool looking bug! I will have to look out for these, that is, if they are common around here! It's a great macro subject!

[katy]

@vskolnik Lol!! A new series for you to start!!! Thanks, Vee. They are very small but I know you are up to the challenge!!

[Maggiemae]

Thats a really colourful fly - must be the female!

@grammyn I am doing pretty well. Less sore today. Got the pol. report picked up and to the rental place. They tried to talk all tough like how they could be charging me /my insurance now and then letting them subrograte his insurance, but since the report was so boldly saying it was not my fault and it WAS his (it made the driver who hit me look like he was lying about the brake failure too) they said I was okay to go and not pay anything or make my insurance cover it. I am still hopeful it won't end up a mess!

[katy]

@maggiemae Now THAT I wouldn't know about! ;~}

[katy]

@espyetta I am confident it won't turn out badly for you!

[Rick Schies]

[Nancy Holte]

That was very accommodating of him. Nice shot.
