Nice detail on the fly - disgusting create it is , but it is a sharp disgusting creature in this shot.

These tiny creatures control the earth... we are just giant parasites
It's always amazing to see one so close

Stunning!
How did you make it sit still?

These photos are amazing! I can see the texture of the fly's eyes.

Yes, nice and sharp and will be even better when you lighten the shadows beneath.

For some reason it just didn't move until I had finished .. considering the lens was more or less touching its nose I was quite suprised.

I have lightened them up a touch.
