I have been trying out some new camera equipment (a macro lens and ring flash) in my garden in Somerset. My aim was to photograph invertebrates, including bees, wasps and even a spider eating its prey. This marmalade hoverfly on a Lobelia caught my eye. I took the picture from above to capture the bright colour contrast between the insect and the plant. Mike Rossiter, Croscombe, UK
