Who says I'm ugly?
Flies are ugly to us, but how can we be the absolute arbiter of ugliness when it is basically learnt. I'm sure that this fine fellow has quite a few admirers in its own domain, and I do know of a few humans on flickr that would call it pretty.
From a western point of view life was either created by an omnipotent and omniscient God and called good, or has evolved to perfection over many millions of years through successive generations being more able to survive. Either way, you got to look at this fly with a bit of admiration, and maybe see beauty beyond fluffy cats and pretty birds, don’t you think?
