Drone fly, not a drone bee? Either way a very nice macro shot. What did you use?

Thanks! It's a drone fly - Eristalis tenax- drone bee has much chunkier legs and longer antennae. My camera is a Fujifilm Finepix s1900 which has a great macro facility and manual mode. The only serious weakness I've found is that it has some barrel lens distortion which is noticeable when taking architectural shots. But for £150 I can't really complain about that.
