A bug's life

[Prime35]

Went to the lake to relax and enjoy the sun, and put the cooler on the table and this bug decided it was his new hangout. He would not move for anything, swatting and blowing, not a budge, talk about fearless. So I decided he would be my model for the next few minutes and snapped some photos of him. Here is one I enjoyed, let me know what you think.

Very nice! I like the cooler's texture! Part of the fun of macro is trying to understand what you are seeing from a new perspective.

This was fun. Now I wish I had a true macro lens lol. I was surprised that this guy didn't budge, guess he just wanted his picture taken.

Mayflies don't move for anything.

I think it is a Mayfly as waday mentioned, but a google search of shadfly corrected me to mayfly. I must admit I don't know my insects though lol
