...but the proboscis presented itself quite nicely (for a change). Shot in APS-C crop mode with a 10x Mitty on a 105mm Pentax (5.25x on sensor). The second image is just a crop from the first with slightly different exposure adjustments.
Yet another fly...

Not so sure! This fly looks like the type that has distinct grooves on the setae (those stout bristles). I can see some vague grooves on some broken setae.Details are outstanding
I am certain there are similar images on MPG that show these grooves clearly - could not find the imaqe(s).
I would have thought a 10x Mitty would be 'sharper'; perhaps reducing it to 5x resulted in lost resolution.

Great, that's what I was expecting to see.
Ignore my earlier comment.
