Hairy Maggot Blowfly

Don't let the name fool you, the Hairy Maggot Blowfly is actually quite beautiful up close in my opinion. I think this is a male specimen as the eyes are quite close together. After the recent rainy weather, the insect life was quite sedate which allowed for some nice photo opportunities.

Hi Greg

Thanks for your comments.

The eyes are definitely the best feature on this fly. I always aim to get them as the focus when ever I see one of these flies around.

Thanks

Awesome shot. Tubes with the 105 or no? Can't beat those eyes.
