Macro Lots of flies

Lots of flies · 12:10 PM

I've got lots of these tiny flies hanging around the plum tree. They are this years new crop, will be grown by spring and pollinating the plum blooms.

Odd colouring for a fly, but it works really well in your photo, with the vibrant colours! And you got a good DoF and lots of detail. Really well done!

It's a blue bottle fly. As it gets larger it will take on a metallic blue sheen.
