I hate flies, but this is a very beautiful and detailed photo! Although I don't like them I've to admit that his colors are really amazing and his wings look as if they are made from glass! Great macro!

Outstanding capture, INCREDIBLE detail. Somehow images of flies intrigue me, not sure why but I do know this is one of the best I have seen. This one looks so mechanical then there are those delicate wings.
