Lady of the Flies

Following yesterday's extreme height I thought something a little smaller wouldn't go amiss. Decided to try to find a bug to shoot and was amazed when this little lady, who I think is a Lucilia, sat quite obligingly still and let me take a few snaps before flying off to something more interesting. Was also amazed that my camera could capture such detail! This is sooc apart from the crop and the frame.

Thank you so much for viewing/commenting on my Shard shot, and perhaps my prom posers and little girl by zebra! You are all lovely and will understand my joy at finding such nice things to read in my inbox!

Outstanding capture...I always wonder how I can think something to be so beautiful...and yet creepy at the same time...nature's creations are amazing but bugs are so much scarier when seen close up! LOL

[Pauline Binek]

great capture, I agree with karen, we just dont appreciate the beauty, we just see the bad....but close is another dimension..

Hey... it looks like a relative to my fly that like the flowers! Nice close up! Great detail! Excellent shot!

[Christie Hicks]

She's so green and shiny. I'd say she was pretty but....it's a fly....so still yucky.

Super detail of the hair on its back and I do love the colour blue of its body!
