This shot is hand held at 800 ISO but I kind of like it.

Oren, this is a wonderfull shot! The long-legged fly, together with the long-branched horsetail make a wonderfull combi. I'd say your awe is quite rightly...

Wow that first shot is indeed stunning. I hate mosquitos but if I could capture one like that ..... Second shot is not too shabby either.

Oren,

What you have there is a Crane Fly. They actually feed off of mosquitoes. They are very common here in Florida.
