[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the Flesh-fly (Sarcophaga carnaria). Thanks my neighbor Nicholas Glen (nglen) for the ID, I was on a completely wrong way!

The flies of the Diptera family Sarcophagidae (from the Greek sarco- = flesh, phage = eating; the same roots as the word "sarcophagus") are commonly known as flesh flies. Most flesh flies breed in carrion, dung, or decaying material, but a few species lay their eggs in the open wounds of mammals; hence their common name. Some flesh fly larvae are internal parasites of other insects. These larvae, commonly known as maggots, live for about 5-10 days, before descending into the soil and maturing into adulthood. At that stage, they live for 5-7 days. (Wikipedia)

La mouche grise de la viande, encore appelée "mouche à damier" ou "mouche noire", ou "mouche grise" (Sarcophaga carnaria) est l'une des grosse mouche commune de la famille des Sarcophagidae, noire et grise aux yeux rouges qui - en zone tempérée - entre dans les maisons pour pondre sur la viande. Dans la nature, elle pond sur les animaux morts dont leurs asticots se nourrissent. (Wikipedia)

Bonsoir Catherine!

Elle est belle ta mouche... même si elle ne réveille pas l'envie de manger un steak ce soir...

:-)

La photo est superbe, très bien composée et la richesse des détails la rend particulièrement intéressante.

Amitiés

Hello Catherine,
I see you're competing with Nick today!! This is another impressive capture of this red-eyed Fly. I like your POV and details are very sharp. A very pleasant background too and well composed.

Hello Catherine,

I like your image with the fly. It has a very good sharpness and nearly all insect's body can be clearly seen. Colors have been rendered very well. I like very much the reflection of light on insect's wings as well as the way you have rendered wing's transparency.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian
