Thumbs up Bugs and Fly's

I did explore the surroundings where my wife works and discovered these bugs as well as Fly's nearby.
I used macro setting on my Sigma lens as well as pop up flash.

Hi my friend.
I did enjoy myself.
More of the same bug will follow as the bugs were at the same tree again today.
