The first photo is especially nice - we don't see insect around here like that, and it is in an good setting.

Excellent captures! Extraordinary fly with the striped eyes in the first image. Thanks for sharing.
Best.

The first shot caused me to ponder just how these little fellas perceive the world.

These are very nice photos. That is a cool looking fly with those striped eyes.
