A highly-coloured sawfly seen from above on a green rose leaf. The fly has a yellow and black head, with a ruddier colour below the eyes, and brown antennae. There are yellow patches on either side of the head towards the rear. The thorax is black with a strong yellow rim at the front, and the legs are all yellow. The abdomen is firstly ruddy, then black, with a hint of a yellow tip. The wings are clear, but with very strong, thick, prominent black veins, plus small yellow patches on the sides.

Magenta orchids photographed in Kigali, Rwanda. 🌺

Shot with a Nikon D7200 and 105mm macro lens. If you look closely, a tiny ant is sheltering on one of the central buds. A happy accident that makes the image.
