I havent been too active lately for one reason and another, but anyway i saw this unusual Fruit Fly today with stripey eyes so i thought i would post it up, there is no sunshine in these parts so it was around 1/40sec hand held (A85) .

The little bugger was around 5mm :) ...

It looks a bit overweight ;) I like the first one, but why are you using ISO50 when there is no sun?

If you go above ISO50 the camera is virtually useless, especially in low light ...

Lovely shots Gordon, that thing is surely one of the ugliest flies I've ever seen.

Nice shots Gordon, especially #2 - and you managed to capture lovely eye detail with nice banding in #2 as well. Well captured given the circumstances.
