Early morning stack of a very co-operative robber fly.  It did initially move a bit but then settled down again allowing me to fire off a series of shots for a couple of stacks.

5:30 am, but still a fairly warm morning so there weren't too many insects still "sleeping".  Also very little morning dew to keep anything still.  I was lucky with this robber fly.

Canon 7DII
Canon 65mm MP-E (@ 1x) - this guy almost too big for this lens on a cropped body.
Mixed light: natural light BG, diffused twin flash for subject.

1/125  |  f/5.6  |  ISO160

The classic robber fly pose, perfect for a vertical, fine stacked detail.
