This fly had its front feet stuck in the milkweed, but did manage to fly off, with a little help.

I like how he’s somehow balanced between the two milkweeds. Sharpness and clarity are superb. V

Quite a balancing act he has there :) A good shot, Christine.

Such outstanding detail you've captured here! I can imagine how it might have had a problem taking off. V.

I guess that kept it still enough for you to get this fantastic macro! Glad it was freed.

Superb close-in shot. Looks heavy to be supported by its wings. V
