excellent
Oh! Great note. Many thanks!! :D
I'm of the opinion that this is a Flesh Fly (Sarcophaga pachtyli). The abdomen on a house fly is yellowish, see spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/...
Nice photos though!!
Thanks! I couldn't really see through my viewfinder as it was so dark until the flash. So I'm amazed I managed these shots at all. Haha.
Very nice!
