Some mating greenbottle flies with an interested spectator. Just thought this was funny. The pic is focus stacked from 2 pics (only way to get the spectator in focus).

Flies don't usually do much for me but that's a nice one, Brian.

Thanks Leo and BE. I was suprised this came out reasonably as there is a huge OOF gap between the spectator and the mating flies.
