Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on June 24th, 2007. Click picture for larger view.
Time for another macro photo of an insect. This time I have captured a sawfly (Rhogogaster viridis) clinging to a straw.
I really like the blue eyes on this sawfly. If you look at my other sawfly photo you can see that sawfly having a different eye color. I believe they are different species.
Need to get myself an insect book to educate myself on the nature around me.
Check out my other insect photos if you digg insects!

What an amazing colour fly. Great macro shot too. First time here, but I’ve grabbed your RSS feed.
That blue eye totally makes this pic pop, Thomas. It’s gorgeous!
1 word: wow
I love his blue eyes! It’s the perfect color accent in this picture. Great shot, like always, Thomas!
Great composition and stunning colours.
Great comp and focus. The colors are just awesome, especially the blue eyes.
marvelous captured – the closer you get the more amazing the insect gets!
those blue eyes are really cool on that bug.
Your photos are always so awesome. I need to invest in a better camera!
