Picture-winged Fly - Up Close & Personal

Found this little guy on the windowsill in the kitchen. Since he was being very mellow I took the opportunity to snap some pics.

I've been trying to find one for stacking for about a week now I took a picture of one only once before (

Pretty fly

Really tough to get them to stay still. They like to walk around in circles.

Got this footage of them mating last summer:

Great pics and video! It looks like the notorious tsetse fly to me, Hope you didn't let it get anywhere near your skin!

Great detail and nice, sharp images....

Well I found one but I do not have enough extension tubes to get the shot I want. Thus, Im whipping up a quick one just to check it out in more detail

Always nice to meet a bug face to face! Gonzo!
