The Tiniest Fly

[best appreciated at full size against black]
Yesterday's first image was Miner's Lettuce, and you'll notice a familiar flower here. But what's that on one of the flower petals?! Keep in mind, each petal is just about the size of a grain of rice! I would like you all to say hello to this very tiny fly, who is so small that it is dwarfed by the size of the flower petal it sits on! It's no larger than 1/16" in size!!!!
Can you believe this?! When I was taking pictures of Miner's Lettuce, I noticed a little black speck on one of the blossoms. Slowly leaning a bit closer, I could barely tell that it was a fly. To my great joy, it sat calmly while I took several pictures, and I was hoping against hope that one of the pictures would turn out. I was elated when I took a look on my computer, and found this little friend perfectly crisp and ready to be a little star! I can't tell you how incredibly happy I am to have my macro lens, because it's allowing me to take pictures I never dreamed were possible!! HOORAY!!! :D :D :D
I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!
Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr!
