Picture Winged Fly

Post by beetleman »

Here is a Picture Winged Fly...Delphinia picta...munching on what I think is a bird poop Buffet (YUM). Recognize what he is sitting on (Not barbed wire)?

Hi ya' Doug, :D

Picture-winged flies are just too cool. 8) However, they lack dietary discretion. Nice image, Doug. :D

Best regards, :D

Great artistic picture. It is nice to see the scale with these barbed wires.

Flies are very interesting but you have to watch them from very close:) And not many people dare to do that:)
