Tiny midge (I think.)

Spotted early in the morning, by afternoon wished I had taken a series for a stack! More coffee from now on. SONY a6300 + 16mm extension tube + Sigma 60mm f/2.8 + Canon 240 C-8 Close-up attachment, diffused Yongnuo YN600EX. Tight crop. She was hanging in a spider web, don't know if she was caught or just hanging out.

I very much like the lighting effects on this. This is beautiful. Looks like a midge.

Thanks, I used a small (6"x6"+/-) plastic cone from a cheap table lamp, glued it to a 58mm ring and attached it to the lens. Cut away the lower 2/3 and it does a better job than my 9x12 diffuser.

Wow!!
I always was a sucker for green eyes.
Beautiful.
A FYI.
Like moths, the males find a mate by sensors in the antenna.
The antenna are plumose in the males to trap the pheromones emenating from the female, and allow him to find her.
This, then, is a male, not 'she'.
