[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ugly perhaps ? Well I am not sure, it is for you to decide.
A scathophagidae diptera, not sure excatly which species. Those flies,AKA Dung Flies, visit flowers and cow-pats for nutritious liquids, but they are also active predators, sucking the juices out of other small insects.
This one sits on a piece of glass which covers a light- trap I use to observe moths and other nocturnal insects

Hello Phillipe

great shot, I'm always amazed at how hairy fies are when you look at them close up.

Good composition, sharpness, details and DOF.

Chris

what a critical composition made by the nature, and see we can't see it with the naked eyes.
Terible shot.
