Description
Black Soldier Fly - Hermetia illucens
Found this dude on the lemon tree in the cool of morning the other day. I believe I have another shot of this beauty in my gallery. But with my new set up and better flash diffusion I got those killer eyes captured nicely.
Interesting note is that these flies, once adult do not eat. They have no working mouth parts. They merely live to mate then die.

Amazing capture my friend. God Bless.
Heak of a shot!!!
A marvellous portrait! Interesting about the lack of mouth, like male mosquitos.
Wonderful macro and interesting info.
Great head on shot - the patterning looks like an Egyptian motif to me...
This is very cool - thanks for sharing!
Outstanding! Lighting is excellent. Shows details, textures and colors in a perfect way!
I guess they're just living for the best part! Hope they're not disappointed!
Killer shot - those eyes are awesome. Perfect in sharpness and DOF.
