[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Flies have been pursuing mankind throughout all of recorded history, and probably from the time man emerged from his caves and began to walk erect.
They are depicted in the oldest writings from the ancient world. Hieroglyphics from Egypt chronicle these tormentors along the nile. Flies are referenced in the Bible as one of the plagues Moses brought down upon the house of Pharaoh. They have even been taken aboard the space shuttle into outer space.
In all there are over 120,000 species of flies ranging in size from 1/20th of an inch to well over three inches. Can you imagine what an engine a three inch fly would make!

One of the things that separate Flies ( Diptera) from other flying insects are their wings. Flies are the only insects that have only two. All other insects have four wings.

Salutari Dane,

Ce close-up reusit! Culori bine balansate si un DOF potrivit pentru un macro.
Dar cel mai mult imi place povestea de la Notes.
