You don't see flies on the ground much (at least I don't). C&C are welcome:

Excellent series Omri- looks like a flesh fly. Agree with gordon I see them anywhere there's somewhere to land including the ground. One of the favourite places for these flies is to sit on a leaf on the lawn.

very nice sharp pics. Maybe it's just me, but seeing macros of fly's just makes them more creepy to me! :) But nice pics all the same

Could be. I haven't thought about that.

Nice series Omri, I'd have to say that #2 is my fave, but only cos the eyes were slightly off in #3 (I prefer the composition of #3). I've also seen flies pretty much anywhere = but as Brian says, they're favourite is sunbaking on leaves.
