Kind of a creepy hairy little guy - although I think his eyelashes are the cutest things :)

@ladyjane Thanks ladyjane!
@cromwell Thanks Cromwell! I've been trying to get a decent shot of him for days - he's big and looks almost bee-like at times, so he is easy for me to spot, just hasn't been easy to catch!

Goodness! That's some serious detail! And I just noticed you're a fellow Sony user! Fantastic shot.

Wow that is great focus ad excellent macro. But that is the ugliest fly I have ever seen. He needs a good can of mortein!

Great macro, focus and DOF are impressive. It's a Tachinid fly, they are parasites/parasitoids of caterpillars and other insects. Think Alien and you have a fairly accurate picture.
posted May 14th, 2012  
@robv Thanks for the info - Alien sounds about right!! Thanks for the comments too :)
