It’s insects, I didn’t look too closely...But I’m trying to figure if you are actually a scientist by trade or you’re really just interested in looking way too closely at these insects!

“Once I cut the wing off....” omg...

hahaha just an interest at looking at things closerly, not just insects.

Interesting - dragon fly???

Interesting, but dragonfly usually has 4 wings; this one only has 2.
I wouldn't mind a dragonfly to check under a microscope one day.

To me, I would think a fly, but I really don't know. I really like the close up of the wing.

hehehe that makes two of us.

Really nice images!
I'm usually freaked out by bugs but this was actually pleasant to read :)

The head does make it look like a fly, but I've never seen one with a torso like that.
Might just be another type of fly, who know how many are out there :P

hahaha I freaked out after seeing the head close up.
You are correct, the torso does seem more different to the usual annoying fly we see. Oh my, I would hate to know exactly how many flies there are out there. But it would be interesting to view them all to compare.

Maybe you could make it a steemit series haha discovering the flies of the world :D
I would definitely read it (and have nightmares) :D

😂😂 I would have nightmares too!!
I'm sure someone already has that job of documenting and monitoring flies hahaha; just glad it isn't me.

hahah ok then, I'll look forward to different content :D

looking at the actual insect and the wingspan, I think that it is likely to be one of the wasp family. Their eyes are quite similar to fly eyes

oooo that is interesting. I do remember reading wasp bodies are not hairy. From what we saw from this specimen, the body wasn't hairy. Also the body shape and size does resemble more of a wasp than a fly.
