Deer warble fly

Hypoderma diana (Diptera, Hypodermatidae).

 

This is a parasitic fly, the larvae develop inside the body of mammals, it worth a read the article about them on Wikipedia. Adults live only a few days so I was lucky to find them again after two years.

 

This is a hand held stacked image of 4 natural light exposures.
