A small fly on a Flax flower.
I will be happy to know more about the fly.

------------------------------------------

I have learned from Maciej Koniuszy and Joe Kellard that it is a Bee-Fly Bombylius major Linnaeus, 1758.
See the posting by Joe Kellard: http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Europe/United_Kingdom/photo107424.htm
for details about bee-flies
Many thanks to both of them.

hi Shahar
magnifique image, c'est vraiment très doux et soyeux. J'adore la couleur, la lumière diffuse et le cadrage décentré.

bien vu
