Buzzing

... well it actually sat still a while, so I could take a photo.

Flies don't really get much attention do they? They're pretty annoying actually (well in my ears). What do they actually do? Carry diseases around!

A very obliging fly!! Nice one

good detail on this closeup

En ze zijn zoveel hariger dan je zou denken! Mooi gedaan!

[Helen Jane]

I can't summon up any fondness for flies at all! As you say - they would appear to be pointless. Excellent shot though.

Flies do serve a purpose, it often eludes me. Such wonderful detail.

Super close up of the common housefly.

[Valerie Chesney]

Fantastic....big eyes & long legs.

Excellent capture of this annoying creature. They must have a role to play (God does not make any mistakes - lol!!) but I have not a clue what it is!

[Shanne]

great details and shot - they are part of nature's clean up crew, clearing rubbish in the environment, so tidying up dead bodies and dropped food. Which means they are covered in germs and when they try to clean up our food they are a problem.

@pyrrhula @kali66 @shannejw thanks for pointing out the flies good traits, I tend to ignore them and just get annoyed with them buzzing around my face. I think it's the first time in all those years on 365 that I took a picture of a fly!
