  • I am not sure, but I think around 4-5mm long. --Muhammad(talk) 05:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose. Great quality macro as always, but the DOF/angle is unfortunate. It shows the feeding very well but not the fly's entire body. Sometimes I think a tighter aperture is needed even if it does mean that there is some diffraction and softness. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 14:04, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
• Weak oppose per Diliff. Shame to subject oneself to this and wind up with DoF problems. Durova^Charge! 01:58, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
