Yet another fly..
Not a special capture but always nice to see an insect upclose.
It's such a surreal world when you see the smaller things enlarged.
Comments are always welcome.

It appears to have landed on the Jolly Green Giant or the Hulk....

Nice shot.

That thing is almost pretty in your shot. I'll feel bad the next time I smack one with a fly-swatter!:D

I set my 20D to Multiple shots and Ai Servo this time (this fly in particular was a little jumpy). Usually i set my camera to Manual and use a tripod though. Some flies stay on the same spot for a while but others just keep moving. They are hard to follow with a Macro lens.

Great shot, it always bothers me the size f the their eyes - they're just too big for a fly!
