I decided to get more distance between the camera and subjects, so 
fitted the X-T2 with my Takumar 135/3.5, set to 3.5.  Here is a 
Silver-Spotted Skipper sipping from a Buddleia bloom, at a distance of 
about 5 ft.

As I started back inside, something on the brick wall caught my eye.  As 
I looked more closely, I realized it was a pair of flies in a mating 
coupling.  A ten minute search identified them as Tiger Bee Flies.
