Bees, almost bees, wasp, flies...

OK, these are the deal! - Great shots! Could you now count the elements of the composite eyes of that fly, just for me

Not sure exactly but more than hairs on my head

He looks friendly. Did you pet it?

You should have heard it purr.

Perspective, the flower is about the size of a Nickle.

Thanks, MSH.
Yes, I am always positively surprised what you can get out of this 24 MP "ONLY" sensor, that is not stacked, not global shutter, not BSI, not a lot of other gimmicks.
And most of the time, I reduce resolution here to 1500x1000px. So the original is even better

I am just happy and can't stop
