One more a fly for the collection... in this case with the particularitity with alive golden adornments, color not very common between the insects.

In addition to its showy ornament real, attract the attention the colorful red one of its multiple eyes, but if there is something emphasizes the flies is its facility to mainly walk type of surfaces and in any direction.

In this image the secret of its success can be appreciated... the conformation of the plants of its legs.

The man has not even been able to imitate this... only in his dreams perhaps or in a future we can to obtain it.

*************************************************

Una mosca más para la colección... en este caso con la particularidad con vivos adornos dorados, color no muy común entre los insectos.

Además de su llamativo ornamento real, llama la atención el colorido rojo de sus ojos múltiples, pero si hay algo que destaca a las moscas es su facilidad para caminar sobre todo tipo de superficies y en cualquier orientación.

En esta imagen se puede apreciar el secreto de su éxito... la conformación de las plantas de sus patas.

El hombre aun no ha podido imitar esto... sólo en sus sueños o en un futuro tal vez podamos lograrlo.

Buona immagine e buon dettaglio! interessanti le striature, sembrano d'oro!

Very nice Macro Ricardo. I particular like the detail of its feet it looks like hooves. Interesting note.

Very nice Ricardo! This would be the 1st I've seen in gold like this. I wonder how many you have to catch to make an ounce!!! ;-) Great detail on your tiny subject & the gold makes it an interesting find. Well done!

No estoy encariñado con moscas, pero debo admitir que ésta parece un pedazo de joyería. Los ojos, los pies y ese oro son extraordinarios. Buena composición con los detalles agudos.

I am not fond of flies but I must admit that this one looks like a piece of jewelry. The eyes, the feet and that gold are extraordinary. Good composition with sharp details.

This is the DeLux model! Very well captured and the detail is superb. I think it might even have a Tatoo on the backside.

Thanks for posting
