The gnat is about 1/8" long and the flower bud about 1/4" across. Nikon D200, Nikkor f1.4 50mm lens, shot at f4, 1/500sec., iso-100. Handheld from about 2 ft. away.

Excellent detail for what I would think a heavy cropping.

Thank you. A very heavy crop. A lot closer than the eye could see.

LOL. Here's the uncropped jpg version, with a red square around the cropped area.

This is the type of gnat I believe it is.
