Description
#2 of my flies. This time a Blowfly (Green Bottle Fly).
"The name blow-fly comes from an older English term for meat that had eggs laid on it, which was said to be fly blown. The first known association of the term “blow” with flies appears in the plays of William Shakespeare: Love's Labour's Lost, The Tempest, and Antony and Cleopatra. " [From Wikipedia]
Being in a cast, I am limited as to what I can shoot. Flies are easy prey!
This one is on my bait of some old shrimp I threw on a bush.
Thanks for looking.
Bruce
Don't forget FULLSIZE
PS the last fly was a Tachinid Fly

WOw - what a great macro! Wonderful detail! I would love to have the lens you are using!!! :)
WOW! I really want to take pictures like this. I'm an insect lover (mostly social insects) and all around bug freak in general, and I have to say that this is an amazingly detailed, incredibly crisp shot. Flies don't pose for me, but then I am not often in the habit of feeding them shrimp either. Oh well... Fantastic details: great sense of color, superb clarity. And like Meisiekind, I'd love to acquire a lens like yours. This is, most definitely, a favorite.
You must use bait....astonishing detail!
Unbelievable details you are able to capture in your macros, Bruce! The texture on that eye is superb! Geez! Awesome!
Absolutely perfect macro! 5+++

Wonderfully crisp and clear macro, sorry to hear about the being in the cast part though. But I suppose if it gets you shots like these there is an up side to it? : )
