Hi all TN members!

Late post today, just came back after long weekend in my home town- Mragowo. One of photographs taken during my garden insect hunt. I was trying to find ID of this fly but I didn't have any good literature. I think it is one of most common species of fly- house fly or maybe flesh fly?
I know it looks quite ugly but very interesting as well:)

Picture taken in RAW, with Raynox DCR-250, just cropped a little bit, noise reduction in NeatImage, resizing and sharpen for TN.

Thank You for any informations , comments or criticques.

Have a nice, quiet evening!

Hello Adrian,
thank you for your late post - an impressive close-up of a fly. Focus, sharpness are pretty good and point of view is well selected.
It's a pity that you cut the mid- and hindleg of the fly.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Adrian,
This is an excellent macro shot of this fly. You've done a great job at capturing all the fine details along with an excellent OOF BG and great POV.

WOW, what a macro! This photo makes this photo seem large - even dangerous! I'm reminded of those old movies where bees, bats, or spiders are larger than people. The details are fantastic. Great DOF and perfect POV.

Hello Adrian,
Superb macro of a fly with great sharpness and details, if perhaps a little too closely cropped. Nice lighting and POV too.
This is a species of parasitic fly (Tachiniidae), probably Dexia rustica that is a parasite on Cockchafer Beetle larvae.
Thankd for sharing this fine image,
Ivan

Hello Adrian,

Excellent capture of this fly. Great POV and sharpness. Good light and colours. Perhaps a little bit too much contrast.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hello Adrian,
I like the POV, color, and sharp details I see.
Well exposed with excellent focus on the head/thorax where it must be.
Well done & TFS!
