Description
An older shot I should have posted.
You can see by my gallery that I actually like to photograph flies. I think because most people really only see houseflies which carry the idea they are covered in germs (which many are) and pests, that in that the Fly species has a bad wrap...lol.
But there are many diff. types and some, like this one are really intriguing and wonderful looking insects (some have the greatest looking eyes of any insect imo). So Take some time to look close next time you see a small flying creature land somewhere. You might be surprised ;-)
Thanks for takin a look!!!

This is a very interesting looking insect! Great job on the close up, your detail is really outstanding!
Despite the filthy reputation, they are so interesting at the high degree of magnification that you are famous for Bruce. The eyes on this one are amazing. Dana

Try as I might, I can never see them as well as you can photograph them! Great shot!

Superb macro.

Great macro, absolutely spot on focus. Thanks for the help on my bug shot.
Ok I am not a huge fan of flys....but you sure have photographed it well.
I think that what you are photographing is really wonderful that's what I love about macro photography we get to see that which we don't normally see with the naked eye. This one is beautiful and has an incredible design on the eye and on the back at the top what appears to be perhaps smaller eyes somewhat similar to that you would see on a spider. Excellent.
fine pic ...
Macro world is a fascinating rhelm. Excellent detail as always!
