  Thank you very much, Sumyanna 🙂 For flies, they can be quite interesting and photogenic in their own ways.

  Thank you, Marilyn 🙂 I believe they are called flesh-flies because the females can deposit live maggots on open wounds of animals.

Gruesome sounding name, wuh-huh-huh red eyes. Never noticed red eyes on flies before. Little details like this are so interesting.

Crazy Fly! Only the eyes have colour! – Must really freak out the bugs he meets at dusk.
