Post-edit, USM. I was photographing the lady bug and didn't notice the mating "flys" until I looked at the shot on the computer screen. This is one of my favorite insect photographs I have taken.
Fantastic macro, Suzanne. Very nice composition and great DOF. You captured a great moment. The main object, the ladybug, is a beautiful little animal but the two mating flies really make the image. Excellent work!
