Happy Flies by ~nele102 - is a wonderful insect close-up, sharp and well-composed with good depth of field. And it's fun to see how marsh flies do it. Thanks for sharing !

Description

This is a couple of marsh flies also called snail killing flies (Elgiva solicita). In Germany they are called Hornfliegen (horn flies, because of their large antennae). They are my favorite flies as almost all members of this family (Sciomyzidae) own beautiful striped eyes and they are very relaxed little fellows (not like the stressful flies in houses).
