That eye caught my attention from five feet away and this little fly is only about a centimeter long. Beautiful.

My macrophotography. Lots of bugs -- flowers, water and other things if I can't find fauna. (Click on a photo to enlarge, click again for an even greater enlargement.)

Woa, that is a weird fly!
That's what I thought too. What a stumpy little body and the two stripe iridescent eye.
Hehehe... he looks like a fly version of Ren, from Ren & Stimpy, with those stoned-looking eyes :-)
Beautiful shot, as are many of your insect macros.
HAHAHA! I love Ren and Stimpy. I hadn't even noticed that. Thanks, that's really funny!
