no, this is not a follow-up to old Greek tragedies, although it goes with the art of theatre; this fly that belongs to the family of "Syrphidae" pretends it's dangerous (I think it is a Myiatropa florea); when I bugged it in the process of taking this shot, it hovered next to my face with a threatening noise, trying desperately to make me think it was a hornet or at least a wasp; M8, 90 Macro with adapter, handheld; btw, the wings look overdone with USM, but in fact already the RAW looked like this

Fabulous photo with excellent angle, composition, light, color and detail. Interesting narrative, too. And the wings look exactly as I recall seeing them in the wild.

Lovely photo, a pity that the flower loses its sheen.
