Fly

I wasn't sure if this fly was alive as it let me get so close, but as soon as I snapped the shot, he buzzed away.

I was excited to see this shot because the thumbnail was so cool. Then, I got a fabulous surprise! I didn't see the fly until I clicked on it. Amazing colors and I just love the curley-q's on the plant. Just wondering...is this a blow fly?!


re: centipede hysteria. That's cool about the number/pairs of legs! One of the things I love most about 365 is the education. It's a combo of photography, biology, botony, geography, and good old life lessons all rolled into one. You just can't buy an education like this one.
