Shot with my Canon 80D/with Tamron 90mm macro and ring flash. I think the streaks in the eyes are a result of the reflection from the flash.
I fairly positive the streaks are natural.
Nice picture! The insect is a kind of fly that mimics a honeybee, so that predators leave it alone.
The stripes on the eyes are actually on this species of fly (!) But the flash does enhance the color contrast of the stripes.
Nice find and well taken.
Nice captures. Ring flash worked well for you.

It's an older ring flash(RPS) and still works

I thought it was a Hover Fly after downloading the pictures on my computer. Really never noticed the eyes when taking the picture in which I thought was a bee.

I bought a ring flash a couple of months ago to try just for this. Haven’t tried it yet too many home spring projects around the house.
