Great catch again. I know flies bleed. Whether this is a drop of blood is in question, but then there is that red on his left side right above, and the drop does look like liquid you can see into.

Interesting shot - don't think it's fly blood though - that's supposed to be green/yellow coloured - has no haemaglobin/ oxygen carrier in it.

That is confusing, cause I have swatted flies that left a red stain. Not bright red, but red enough to see it. Maybe it was something they ate.
