Pretty Sawfly?

[Bilbo_baggin]

I think it is a sawfly - measured only approximately 3-4mm long. One pane of the wing is black - the rest transparent but with a nice luminosity and rainbow of colours.


You would never guess what the background is though - but this little beastie had come into the house when the door to the garden was open tonight as I photographed a member of the local arachnid population, and it landed on the plastic bag in which 3 buns were safely wrapped to keep them fresh...


Being indoors in it's own home-made studio, meant no wind to cause problems, just a case of having to reach to the back of the worktop to avoid disturbing it (would have flown had I moved the bag) so not 100% straightforward, though not too difficult.
