Thanks guys

And I have to correct, it's not a bee fly (but at first glance sure looks like one). It is a nemestrinid which parasitises grasshoppers .... I'm a bad girl

Thanks everyone, if you are interested, here are two shots that show what the nemestrinid actually looks like

I really like the tight cropping. There isn't much space at all on either side of the wings, and the 'bug' (forgive me) is nice and sharp, with a great out of focus background.
