The Fly

I know that they are really dirty little beggars. But when you catch one of these guys - and this one was posing - with a macro lens it is sort of magic. Who knew they were such hairy little guys?

[Allison Williams]

The colors are exquisite. It doesn't seem quite fair that such a pest should be adorned so beautifully.

[KWind]

Wow... that's close! Excellent capture with amazing details!

[Maggiemae]

Seeing their translucent wings is good as well as the colourful body! Good that he was staying still - I hate to think what he was doing!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

and when you catch them in the sun, and on HOT PINK...it is totally amazing..even if they are nasty little creatures. I love fly macros! Fav

[R L Anderson]

Beaitiful... never thought I would say that about a fly.

[Sue Wilde]

Brilliant detail

[Linda]

That is a great macro shot! It does have pretty colors.

[Michelle C.]

Everything is so pretty. Those eyes, however, are a bit unnerving, aren't they?

[Graham Thresher]

A great macro. It is amazing that when something is taken in close up, it takes on a different form.

[Beryl Lloyd]
