extraordinary flyby ~nele102

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Invertebrates

I shot this fly (Trypetoptera punctulata, Sciomyzidae) this year in summertime in Northern Germany.
I like the black and white pattern and the red-striped eyes.

awesome macro!

the details are just incredible!
the colors really come to life...

how quickly did it fly away after your shot?

Thanks!

These flies are very relaxed and not that hectic like normal flies.

@BlutigWolf: yes, they're so beautiful and extraordinary

what an exotic fly...i love the mouth, it looks like some sort of gas mask :]

I don't know why some people don't like insects...I think they're beautiful. This fly really is extraordinary. Sometimes even with fancy clothes, people just can't match bugs for looks!

Hi and thanks for your comments!

@ AJGlass
I use a Canon 350d (Digital Rebel XT) and 180mm Sigma macro lens. I think that your pics are very sharp too, why are you complainig?
