I`m not sure New Zealand flies would be the same as the ones we get over here, so I won`t try to identify. The detail and DOF are excellent. Main problem is the green leaf-blade cutting across the picture, although if the insect were the other way up, so its head was at the intersect of the leaves, it might work quite well!
you have certainly aroused my interest in flies.....;-)
Super!
Nice shot of an interesting looking fly. I have never seen one like this. 
Great details...and I like the background.
LOL, thanks Mike and thats exactly whats wrong with it. The brighter green is way off base and very disstracting. Took me awhile to decide wheter to post this or not ) but it was the interest that got me in this thing.
I`m just glad you looked Mike and I mean "Look". Thank you sir and I agree 100% and I would say the same thing

Al, I was actually taking photos of a rose at the time, this came along and landed on the rose stem next to me. I had about 1 sec to shoot this, LOL. I could clone it out or darken it, but its what mother nature gave me and as already said, its not a great shot ). I am more interested in what type it is since I have never seen this type before, rather than a great shot. Its only a bunch of numbers Al mother nature is far more than that.
All the best Al, I`m hard to understand some times with what I get up to ) Thanks again Al, its just great to be on the site. Danny.
Excellent macro!
Congrats!
Another great macro shot Danny keep them flying *S*
Wonderful macro with sharp details - I never have seen this fly before but it is interesting - Great shot, Danny!
This is a horse-fly (Tabanidae), blood-sucking insect, female.
