Nikon D3X (35.9-mm x 24.0-mm CMOS sensor) with a Nikkor 105G. If fly is approx. 5-mm long, then Field of View is approx. 10-mm wide. Magnification is greater than 3:1 (3x life-size).

What is your light source? ISO 1600 (noise is not too shabby), 1/200-sec at f/16.
Notice how shallow DoF at f/16: wings sharp, but screen OOF.

I used a Nikon SB-600 speedlight at 1/2 power, with a ring light attachment much like yours.

I like it, banker. That fly is a real looker! Maybe try to keep the lines of the screen even with the edge of the frame next time? The rule of thirds could have been put to good use with this subject too {well...maybe?).
Thanks for posting the fly. cameraniac
