Sleeping Fly

After I had taken the photo of the spider (yesterday's photo) I spotted this fly in the centre of one of the daisies. I took its photo close up with my phone and it didn't move so then I thought it may be dead. I touched it and it flew off, so I guess it must have been asleep.

You don't think of flies sleeping do you and I must have given him quite a fright. ha ha

Sorry Mr Fly.

Well, no, I don't think of flies sleeping- but I don't think I'd touch it either. Interesting shot!

Great closeup. That must have been quite a shock for the fly.

[Peter]

Well spotted and captured Babs:)

[Dione Giorgio]

Superb close up. The flies I see here have different colours than this one. He seems to be guarding the inside of the flower lest someone dares to touch it.

[Wylie]

I wonder that Daisy had some pyrethrum?

Perhaps the fly had a little too much nectar!

[Rob Z]

Maybe just a little nap? Great detail of him and the daisy.

[Kathy]

I'm trying to figure out its head. Is that large dark curved area and eye?

[Islandgirl]

Wow great close up!

[Renee Salamon]

Amazing capture

Super macro!

[Babs]

@randystreat Yes it is, the dark area is its eye it is huge isn't it.

[Angela]

Guess they must sleep but seems strange. Great shot though!
