[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The common fly, Musca domestica is one of the most common of all insects. It is worldwide in distribution and is a pest in homes, barns, poultry houses, food processing plants, dairies, and recreation areas. It has a tremendous breeding potential and during the warmer months can produce a generation in less than two weeks. In many areas of Florida the house fly breeds continually throughout the year.

Great clarity and sharpness. Did you use a macro flash? I see some kind of reflection in the eye. I'm trying capture pictures of this quality but not successful yet. Any advice/tips would be useful.

Hi Bill,

excellent sharp details of this interesting looking fly, perfect colors and composition, thanks a lot!

cheers

Wow!! What an incredible image Bill,
Very sharp with excellent lighting and exposure. Perfect DOF, hard to believe you could get such a detailed image while only shooting at F/8. Great job!!
